Class LanguageDetector

java.lang.Object
  de.aitools.ie.languagedetection.LanguageDetector

public class LanguageDetector
extends java.lang.Object

This class is the main interface to the language detection package. TODO(loose): The interface (getLanguage() method) could as well be static? But in future one could want to get more information about for example the second most probable language or the distance from the most probable language to the next one... TODO(loose): fix models: pl,lt -- these (and probably a few other) models are the best guess when the text contains many white spaces, special character etc. ... so the language (wiki) corpus still seems to have problems. -- good test with vertical search results, as these texts somehow randomly come from the web
