Language Detection API

                When I was reading some article, I found some other language words appeared in that article. I was fascinated to know for what language those words belong to and searched for an API to detect the language based on the content which we are providing. I found a simple API to do the job here. Follow the steps to work with this API.

• Register here to get the API key.
• Create maven project and add the below dependency to pom.xml

     com.detectlanguage
     detectlanguage
     1.0.0

Write a simple java code by using API to detect the language of context. The code is provided below.

package org.smarttechie;

import java.util.List;

import com.detectlanguage.DetectLanguage;
import com.detectlanguage.Result;
import com.detectlanguage.errors.APIError;

public class LanguageDetector {

/**
* @param args
* @throws APIError
*/
public static void main(String[] args) throws APIError {
DetectLanguage.apiKey = "[YOUR API KEY]";
List results = DetectLanguage.detect("ಕನ್ನಡ ಲಿಪಿ");

Result result = results.get(0);

System.out.println("Language: " + result.language);
}

}

Once you run the above code, it will detect the language code as “KN” [KANNADA].

The source code is available here.
