Panlingo.LanguageIdentification.Lingua

Welcome to Panlingo.LanguageIdentification.Lingua, a .NET wrapper for the Lingua library, which is an efficient and easy-to-use language detection library. This package simplifies the integration of language identification capabilities into .NET applications, leveraging the Lingua library to accurately and quickly recognize the languages of given texts. Perfect for projects that require lightweight yet reliable language detection.

Requirements

• Runtime: .NET >= 5.0
• OS: Linux
• Arch: AMD64

Installation

To integrate the Lingua functionality, follow these steps:

1. Install the NuGet package:

   dotnet add package Panlingo.LanguageIdentification.Lingua
   

Usage

Integrating the Lingua library into your .NET application is straightforward. Here’s a quick guide to get you started:

1. Install the Package: Ensure you have added the Panlingo.LanguageIdentification.Lingua package to your project using the provided installation command.
2. Initialize the Library: Follow the example snippet to initialize and use the Lingua library for detecting languages.

using Panlingo.LanguageIdentification.Lingua;

class Program
{
    static void Main()
    {
        // Create an instance of the language detector
        using var linguaBuilder = new LinguaDetectorBuilder(Enum.GetValues<LinguaLanguage>())
            .WithPreloadedLanguageModels()     // optional
            .WithMinimumRelativeDistance(0.95) // optional
            .WithLowAccuracyMode();            // optional

        using var lingua = linguaBuilder.Build();

        var texts = new[]
        {
            "Hello, how are you?",
            "Привіт, як справи?",
            "Привет, как дела?",
        };

        var predictions = texts
            .Select(x => new
            {
                Text = x,
                Predictions = lingua.PredictLanguages(x),
            })
            .ToArray();

        foreach (var x in predictions)
        {
            var prediction = x.Predictions.FirstOrDefault();

            Console.WriteLine(
                $"Text: {x.Text}, " +
                $"Language: {prediction?.Language.ToString() ?? "NULL"}, " +
                $"Probability: {prediction?.Confidence.ToString() ?? "NULL"}"
            );
        }
    }
}
