Configuration

Before using Detect Language API client you have to setup your personal API key. You can get it for free by signing up at https://detectlanguage.com

using DetectLanguage;

DetectLanguageClient client = new DetectLanguageClient("YOUR API KEY");

Usage

Language detection

DetectResult[] results = await client.DetectAsync("Buenos dias señor");

Single language code detection

If you need just a language code you can use DetectCodeAsync. It returns first detected language code.

string languageCode = await client.DetectCodeAsync("Buenos dias señor");

Batch detection

It is possible to detect language of several texts with one request. This method is significantly faster than doing one request per text. To use batch detection just pass multiple texts to BatchDetectAsync method.

string[] texts = {"labas rytas", "good morning"};
DetectResult[][] results = await client.BatchDetectAsync(texts);

Getting your account status

UserStatus userStatus = await client.GetUserStatusAsync();

Getting list supported languages

Language[] languages = await client.GetLanguagesAsync();
