}
Info is the language detection result
func FromReader ¶
FromReader detects the language from an io.Reader
This function will read all bytes until an EOF is reached
func FromString ¶
FromString detects the language from the given string
func (Info) Confidence ¶
Confidence returns a measure of reliability for the language classification
The output value is in the range [0, 1.0] inclusive
Example ¶
package main
import (
"fmt"
"github.com/rylans/getlang"
)
func main() {
short := getlang.FromString("short text")
long := getlang.FromString("this sentence is a bit longer")
fmt.Println(long.Confidence() > short.Confidence())
}
Output: true
func (Info) LanguageCode ¶
LanguageCode returns the ISO 639-1 code for the detected language
Example ¶
package main
import (
"fmt"
"github.com/rylans/getlang"
)
func main() {
fmt.Println(getlang.FromString("статей на русском").LanguageCode())
}
Output: ru
func (Info) LanguageName ¶
LanguageName returns the English name of the detected language
Example ¶
package main
import (
"fmt"
"github.com/rylans/getlang"
)
func main() {
fmt.Println(getlang.FromString("何ですか？").LanguageName())
}
Output: Japanese
