Automatically detect the language of your text. Supports multiple languages including English, Spanish, French, German, and more.
Our language detector analyzes text patterns and common words to identify the language of your content. It supports detection of multiple languages and provides confidence scores for each match. For a detailed guide, check out our article on how to detect the language of any text.
Automatic language detection is essential for global businesses, content platforms, and multilingual applications. It enables automatic routing of customer support tickets, content categorization, translation workflows, and localization processes without manual language identification.
Language detection accuracy depends on text length and clarity. Longer texts (50+ words) typically achieve 95%+ accuracy. Short phrases or texts with mixed languages may have lower accuracy. Our tool shows confidence percentages to help you evaluate results.
Our tool detects 12+ languages including English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Dutch, Russian, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, and Arabic. Detection works through pattern matching of common words and character sets unique to each language.
Yes, our detector shows confidence scores for multiple languages when your text contains elements from different languages. This is useful for identifying multilingual content or code-switching between languages.
For best results, provide at least 20-50 words. Single words or very short phrases may be detected incorrectly due to similarities between languages. Longer passages provide more data points for accurate identification.
Low confidence can occur with: very short text, technical jargon, proper nouns, mixed-language content, or languages not in our detection set. Numbers, URLs, and code snippets may also reduce confidence as they're language-neutral.
