Description

This package can detect the language of a given text string.

It can parse given training text in many different idioms into a sequence of n-gram items and builds a database file in JSON format to be used in the detection phase.

The package can then take a given text and detect its language using the database previously generated in the training phase.

The package comes with text samples used for training and detecting text in 73 languages.

Build Status Version Total Downloads Maintenance License

Detect the language from a given text. To do that it generates a language profile based on N-grams for every file in etc directory. Then it generate such language profile for the unknown text and compare the previosly language profiles against the unknown.

Requirements:

Only requirement is a PHP version greater than or equal to 7.1. > Note: language_detection requires the Multibyte String extension in order to work.

Install via Composer

composer require patrick-schur/language-detection

Or add the following to composer.json

{
  "require": {
     "patrick-schur/language-detection": "*"
  }
}

Basic Usage

Before we can recognize the language from a given text, we have to generate a language profile for each language. From the beginning it comes with a pre-trained language profile (etc/_langs.json).<br> Also you can add new files to etc or change existing ones.

First we have to generate a language profile.

require_once 'vendor/autoload.php';
 
use LanguageDetector\Trainer;
 
$t = new Trainer;
 
$t->learn();

If we have our language profile, we can classify texts by their language. To detect the language correctly, the length of the input text should be at least some sentences.

require_once 'vendor/autoload.php';
 
use LanguageDetector\LanguageDetector;
 
$ld = new LanguageDetector;
 
var_dump($ld->detect('Das ist ein deutscher Satz.')); // de

Supported languages:

It supports up to now 73 languages. If your language not supported, feel free to add your own language files.
