Entry point for Language Identification.

This class can be used from any thread.

Constant Summary

float DEFAULT_IDENTIFY_LANGUAGE_CONFIDENCE_THRESHOLD The default confidence threshold for the identifyLanguage(String) call.
float DEFAULT_IDENTIFY_POSSIBLE_LANGUAGES_CONFIDENCE_THRESHOLD The default confidence threshold for the identifyPossibleLanguages(String) call.
String UNDETERMINED_LANGUAGE_CODE The BCP-47 code for "undetermined language"

Public Method Summary

void
close()
Releases resources when the client is finished using the instance.
Task<String>
identifyLanguage(String text)
Identifies the language in a supplied String and returns the most likely language.
Task<List<IdentifiedLanguage>>
identifyPossibleLanguages(String text)
Identifies the language in a supplied String and returns a list of possible languages, cutting off any languages whose confidence score falls below the threshold in getConfidenceThreshold().

Inherited Method Summary

Constants

public static final float DEFAULT_IDENTIFY_LANGUAGE_CONFIDENCE_THRESHOLD

The default confidence threshold for the identifyLanguage(String) call.

Constant Value: 0.5

public static final float DEFAULT_IDENTIFY_POSSIBLE_LANGUAGES_CONFIDENCE_THRESHOLD

The default confidence threshold for the identifyPossibleLanguages(String) call.

Constant Value: 0.01

public static final String UNDETERMINED_LANGUAGE_CODE

Constant Value: "und"

Public Methods

public void close ()

Releases resources when the client is finished using the instance.

The instance can still be used after a call to this method, but might take slightly longer to produce a result, because it will have to load the model again.

public Task<String> identifyLanguage (String text)

Identifies the language in a supplied String and returns the most likely language.

Parameters
text The text for which to identify the language. Inputs longer than 200 characters are truncated to 200 characters, as longer input does not improve the detection accuracy.
Returns

public Task<List<IdentifiedLanguage>> identifyPossibleLanguages (String text)

Identifies the language in a supplied String and returns a list of possible languages, cutting off any languages whose confidence score falls below the threshold in getConfidenceThreshold().

Note that this API assumes the text is in a single language; the returned list contains all estimations for what that language could be, along with a confidence score for each possible language. The API does not detect multiple languages in a single text.

Parameters
text The text for which to identify the language. Inputs longer than 200 characters are truncated to 200 characters, as longer input does not improve the detection accuracy.
Returns
