Automatic text classification: instantly identify the language of any input, supporting 170+ global languages for seamless data routing.

Language Detection is a core Natural Language Processing (NLP) task: it automatically determines the human language of a given text. The technology operates as an automatic classifier, often using statistical methods like n-gram analysis and a Vector Space Model to calculate similarity against a vast corpus of reference texts (Source: Translated Labs). For example, a robust API can accurately identify text in 173 different languages, returning the ISO 639-1 code (e.g., 'en' for English) and a confidence score. This capability is critical for applications like routing customer support tickets, filtering multilingual spam, and ensuring search engine results are indexed correctly by language.
