Answers to Questions
How to recognize the language of a text?
Language recognition (dialect or lang detection) is based on the characters detection (the alphabet) among the expressions and the words in the text.
The main principle is to detect common words
Example: In English a, to, of, etc., in French, de, la, le, un, et
Count rare characters (or missing ones) to discriminate some foreign languages
Example: In English, the letter j is rare, in French, the letter w is rare and limited to words imported from other languages
Look for language specific characters/signs as diacritics
Example: In Spanish, the ñ (tilde n) appears often, in French, accent letters such as â,ç,è,é,ê,î,ô,û,ù are used, etc.
