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/identify/recognize 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.
