About

What is whatlang-rs?

whatlang-rs is a natural language detection library specifically designed for Rust, prioritizing simplicity and performance. It can identify 70 different languages and also recognizes the script (e.g., Latin, Cyrillic) used in the text. The library provides reliability information for its detections, helping users understand the confidence level of the identified language. Based on trigram language models, it offers a lightweight and fast solution for language identification. It is open-source and provides bindings for other languages like Go, Python, and Elixir, making it versatile for various development environments. An online demo is available for users to test its capabilities.

Best used for

Ideal for developers who need to accurately detect natural languages, identify text scripts, and integrate language recognition into their Rust applications.

FAQs

What algorithm does whatlang-rs use for language detection?

whatlang-rs utilizes trigram language models for its detection algorithm. This approach is based on the frequency of sequences of three characters (trigrams) in a given text, comparing them against known language models to identify the most probable language.

How does whatlang-rs determine the reliability of its language detection?

The reliability of detection in whatlang-rs is calculated based on two main factors: the number of unique trigrams in the text and the difference in confidence between the top two detected languages. This helps ensure more accurate and trustworthy results.

Can whatlang-rs be used with programming languages other than Rust?

While whatlang-rs is written in Rust, it offers bindings and clones for other programming languages. Specifically, there are ports and bindings available for Go (whatlanggo), Python (whatlang-py), and Elixir (whatlangex), extending its usability across different ecosystems.
