How It Works

This tool uses a statistical n-gram language model — the same core technique used in professional language detection libraries. It analyzes the character sequences in your text and matches them against known patterns for 176 languages.

Unlike neural model-based tools, this approach requires no model download, runs in under 10 milliseconds, and works offline. The entire detection algorithm (covering 176 languages) weighs less than 100KB.

Frequently Asked Questions

For most languages, 3–5 words give reliable detection. Accuracy improves with longer text. Single words can sometimes be ambiguous between related languages. Sentences of 10+ words give much better accuracy.
The tool detects the dominant language in a text. For mixed text, it returns the language with the highest statistical probability. Per-sentence mixed-language detection needs a much larger model.
Closely related languages like Spanish and Portuguese or Norwegian and Danish share many character patterns. More text improves disambiguation. Lower confidence usually means several candidates are close.
Google uses large server-side neural models and sends your text to its servers. This tool runs locally in your browser with no API call. For many everyday cases, the practical accuracy difference is small.
