What is langdetect in Python?

A langdetect is a Python module for language detection. It is a port of the language-detection library for Java, which was developed by Nakatani Shuyo. The langdetect module provides a simple interface for detecting the language of a given text. It uses a set of language profiles to identify the language of the input text.

In this article, we will see how we can detect the language of an entered text in Python using Flask. To detect language using Python we need to install an external library called “langdetect” and “pycountry“. Let’s see how to implement Flask Language Detector App, before implementation we will try to understand the basic modules that we will need in our Flask Project .

pip install langdetect
pip install pycountry
