Whatlang

Natural language detection in Rust.

Features

• Support more than 50 languages
• 100% written in Rust
• No external dependencies
• Super fast
• Recognizes not only a language, but also a script (Latin, Cyrillic, etc)

Get started

The library is still in active development. Here is the short example how to use it:

Add to you Cargo.toml:

[dependencies]

whatlang = "*"

In you program:

extern crate whatlang;

use whatlang::{detect_lang, Lang, Script, Query};

fn main() {
    let text = "Guten Abend, meine Damen und Herren!".to_string();
    let query = Query::new(&text);
    let result = detect_lang(query).unwrap();
    assert_eq!(result.lang, Lang::Deu);
    assert_eq!(result.lang.to_code(), "deu");
    assert_eq!(result.script, Script::Latin);
}

Roadmap

• Support 100 most popular languages
• Allow to specify whitelist/blacklist in Query struct
• Provide some metrics about reliability in Result struct
• Tune performance
