Language detection library for Ruby
Linguo detects the language of a given text using Free Language Detection API.
Install it from rubygems:
gem install linguo
If you’re using Rails, add to your Gemfile:
gem 'linguo'# gem 'linguo', :git => 'git://github.com/NARKOZ/linguo.git'
and run:
bundle
You can run rails g linguo:config to generate an initializer and set up API key at config/initializers/linguo.rb.
You can use demo API key (demo) to test out any examples below.
There are a few ways to set an API key. You can set default API key globally in Linguo::Config.api_key:
Linguo.api_key = "your_api_key"
or set the environment variable 'LINGUO_API_KEY' and Linguo will use it.
You can also pass it directly:
Linguo.detect("your text to detect", "your_api_key")
Identify text language and get confidence scores using the detect method:
Linguo.detect("こんにちは")
Get a list of languages with confidence greater than 0.3:
Linguo.detect("こんにちは").detections.map {|x| x['language'] if x['confidence'] > 0.3}.compact
Linguo adds lang method to String class:
"こんにちは".lang
It will return an array containing detected languages.
