Panlingo.LanguageIdentification.CLD3

Welcome to Panlingo.LanguageIdentification.CLD3, a .NET wrapper for the Chrome Language Detection (CLD3) library by Google Inc. This package seamlessly integrates language identification capabilities into .NET applications, enabling accurate and efficient recognition of over 107 languages with minimal effort. Perfect for applications dealing with multilingual texts or requiring automatic language detection.

Requirements

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

Installation

To integrate the CLD3 functionality, follow these steps:

1. Install the NuGet package:

   dotnet add package Panlingo.LanguageIdentification.CLD3
   

2. Install Protobuf:

   Depending on your Linux distribution, use the appropriate command to install Protobuf:

   • Ubuntu/Debian:

     sudo apt -y update
     sudo apt -y install protobuf-compiler libprotobuf-dev
     

   • Fedora:

     sudo yum install protobuf-devel
     

   • CentOS:

     sudo yum install epel-release
     sudo yum install protobuf-devel
     

Usage

Integrating the CLD3 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.CLD3 package to your project using the provided installation command.
2. Initialize the Library: Follow the example snippet to initialize and use the CLD3 library for detecting languages.

using Panlingo.LanguageIdentification.CLD3;

class Program
{
    static void Main()
    {
        // Create an instance of the language detector
        using var cld3 = new CLD3Detector(minNumBytes: 0, maxNumBytes: 512);

        var text = "Hello, how are you? Привіт, як справи? Привет, как дела?";

        var singlePrediction = cld3.PredictLanguage("Привіт, як справи?");

        Console.WriteLine($"Language: {singlePrediction.Language}");
        Console.WriteLine($"Probability: {singlePrediction.Probability}");
        Console.WriteLine($"IsReliable: {singlePrediction.IsReliable}");
        Console.WriteLine($"Proportion: {singlePrediction.Proportion}");

        var predictions = cld3.PredictLanguages("Hello, how are you? Привіт, як справи? Привет, как дела?", 3);

        foreach (var prediction in predictions)
        {
            Console.WriteLine(
                $"Language: {prediction.Language}, " +
                $"Probability: {prediction.Probability}, " +
                $"IsReliable: {prediction.IsReliable}, " +
                $"Proportion: {prediction.Proportion}"
            );
        }
    }
}
