Hi all,
I am asking this question because I was unable to find an answer in the help pages and javadocs.
I’d like to use languagetool API to detect the language of a word or sentence.
It’s not clear to me whether this tool can do this, can anyone please help and/or provide pointers?
Thanks, regards
Vincenzo

LanguageTool simply uses Tika, so if you just need language detection,
you should use Tika directly (class
org.apache.tika.language.LanguageIdentifier). This will not properly
work for single words or short phrases, you will need longer texts
(maybe > 30 characters).

Thanks so much, your answer helped me a lot
