A basic C# port of Fasttext, a library to identify the languages used to write a text.

What and Why

This library supports the .NET Standard 2.0 and 2.1. This library exists only because I wanted a version of the library without relying on the original library in C. If you do not care about that, you most likely prefer a library that is just a wrapper of the original library. I could not find a package like that on nuget, so here we are.

This library only supports using an existing model rather than creating a new one.

This library distributes the original compressed version of the model developed by Facebook.

Performance is good enough for the compressed version of the library. The performance for tests of the full model is bad (it takes more than an hour to run them). I am not sure why. However, using the full model the performance is as expected.

Installation

Install using the NuGet package.

PM> Install-Package LanguageTeller

Usage

Initializing the main class, LanguageTeller, automatically loads the default model. Then you can use:

  • TellLanguage method, to identify the most likely language for a piece of text (or input stream).

  • TellMainLanguages method, to identify the most likely languages of a piece of text (or input stream). By default this means languages thar are at least a 20% match. This value can be changed using the property ThresholdMainLanguage.

  • TellAllanguages method, to identify all the potential languages for a piece of text (or input stream).

There are also utility method to check a model or load your own. You might also be interested in GetLabels which lists the labels used by a model.
