Text_LanguageDetect
*******************
PHP library to identify human languages from text samples.
Returns confidence scores for each.
Installation
============
PEAR
----
::
$ pear install Text_LanguageDetect
Composer
--------
::
$ composer require pear/text_languagedetect
Usage
=====
Also see the examples in the ``docs/`` directory and
the `official documentation`__.
__ http://pear.php.net/package/Text_LanguageDetect/docs
Language detection
------------------
Simple language detection::
detectSimple($text);
echo $language;
//output: german
Show the three most probable languages with their confidence score::
detect($text, 3);
foreach ($results as $language => $confidence) {
echo $language . ': ' . number_format($confidence, 2) . "\n";
}
//output:
//german: 0.35
//dutch: 0.25
//swedish: 0.20
?>
Language code
-------------
Instead of returning the full language name, ISO 639-2 two and three
letter codes can be returned::
setNameMode(2);
echo $ld->detectSimple('Das ist ein kleiner Text') . "\n";
//will output the ISO 639-2 three-letter language code
// "deu"
$ld->setNameMode(3);
echo $ld->detectSimple('Das ist ein kleiner Text') . "\n";
?>

Notes
=====
Where are the data from?
I don't recall where I got the original data set.
It's just the frequencies of 3-letter combinations in each supported language.
It could be generated from a few random wikipedia pages from each language.
