LangID helps you identify unknown languages
Written by ForeignExchange Translations on Monday, August 24, 2009
Here is a good compliment to the recently mentioned TypeIt. If you ever had a text that you cannot identity, LangID is for you.
LangID does one thing and does it well: It analyzes a snippet of text and tells you what language it is written in. In my tests, it identified even single words.
You can input text into LangID in multiple ways; simply cutting and pasting text into the dialog box is the most straight-forward option. You can also upload a DOC, PDF, or XLS file for analysis, send a short text to LangID via Twitter, or email the document to them for an automatic reply.
LangID is a free service annd requires no signup. Supposedly LangID can identify 85 languages - note, however, that in tests run by MakeUseOf, LangID failed to identify Tatar and Belorussian.
