About
Lingua is a natural language detection library specifically designed for Java and JVM environments. Its primary function is to accurately identify the language of provided textual data, serving as a crucial preprocessing step for natural language processing applications like text classification and spell checking. Unlike other libraries that struggle with short text snippets, Lingua excels in detecting languages even from single words or phrases, leveraging n-grams of sizes 1 to 5. It combines a rule-based engine, which filters languages based on unique characters and alphabets, with a probabilistic n-gram model. This dual approach ensures high accuracy without relying on external APIs or dictionaries, making it suitable for offline use. Lingua currently supports 75 languages, prioritizing quality and accuracy over sheer quantity.
