Lightning Fast Language Prediction 🚀
This tool helps you quickly identify the language of short pieces of text, such as single words or short phrases. You provide text in an unknown language, and it tells you which of 176 supported languages it most likely is (e.g., 'en' for English). This is useful for anyone working with multilingual content, like data analysts, content managers, or customer support specialists.
167 stars. No commits in the last 6 months. Available on PyPI.
Use this if you need to programmatically determine the language of short text strings or lists of strings with high accuracy and speed.
Not ideal if you need to analyze very long documents or require deep linguistic analysis beyond simple language identification.
