Language Identifier

Have you ever run across some text and you didn't know what language it was? We now have a new Language Guesser that will help you guess the language of the text you put in it. Let me know how you like it.

¿Alguna vez te has encontrado un text y no sabías en qué idioma estaba escrito? Ya tenemos un Identificador de Idiomas que te ayudará a adivinar el idioma del text que ingresas. Déjame saberlo si te gusta.

Hey Tomisimo good job that's pretty cool. It's going to be useful for me too, becuase I sometimes need to find out what language a certain message is written in.

Hey, I typed in some Hawaiian words and it told me it was Swahili. So maybe you do have to enter in specific sentences then...

I'm fairly good at identifying languages, although I do say so myself!

I'm almost tempted to add: Go on, try me!

Yes, it needs a sentence of about 10 words (or more) for it to be reliable. If you only put in a couple of words, you're going to get some pretty random results.

If it doesn't recognise sűrűség by itself as Hungarian then it still needs work!

I'll admit it took me a bit of hunting to find a word in Hungarian with a double-acute accent, just so I could say that!
