About

The language detection component is designed to detect the language used in any field from the given input. The detected language will be presented in the form of two-letter short form (ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 code). It should be noted that we can use this component in both real-time and batch-processing manner.

Adding to your Dynamic Pipeline

This Component can be added to your Dynamic pipelines through the "Language Detect" component. It requires the following fields for configuration:

• Destination Path (Required): the metadata field in which the ISO-3166-1 alpha-2 code will be outputted to. This will be the detected language. The field can be an existing field, or the component can create a new field for this functionality.
• Main (Required): This is the input field that the Language Detection will use as a source. By default, the content.body field will be used, however any field can be chosen as an output.

Compatible Languages

The coverage is as follows which includes 144 different languages.
