Language detection
------------------
Simple language detection::
<?php
require_once 'Text/LanguageDetect.php';
$text = 'Was wäre, wenn ich Ihnen das jetzt sagen würde?';
$ld = new Text_LanguageDetect();
$language = $ld->detectSimple($text);
echo $language;
//output: german
Show the three most probable languages with their confidence score::
<?php
require_once 'Text/LanguageDetect.php';
$text = 'Was wäre, wenn ich Ihnen das jetzt sagen würde?';
$ld = new Text_LanguageDetect();
//3 most probable languages
$results = $ld->detect($text, 3);
foreach ($results as $language => $confidence) {
echo $language . ': ' . number_format($confidence, 2) . "\n";
}
//output:
//german: 0.35
//dutch: 0.25
//swedish: 0.20
?>
Language code
-------------
Instead of returning the full language name, ISO 639-2 two and three
letter codes can be returned::
<?php
require_once 'Text/LanguageDetect.php';
$ld = new Text_LanguageDetect();
//will output the ISO 639-1 two-letter language code
// "de"
$ld->setNameMode(2);
echo $ld->detectSimple('Das ist ein kleiner Text') . "\n";
//will output the ISO 639-2 three-letter language code
// "deu"
$ld->setNameMode(3);
echo $ld->detectSimple('Das ist ein kleiner Text') . "\n";
?>
