Based on Jason Toy's CLD v1.0. Blazing-fast language detection for Ruby provided by Google Chrome's Compact Language Detector v2.0
CLD.detect_language("This is a test")
# => {:name => "ENGLISH", :code => "en", :reliable => true}
CLD.detect_language("plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose")
# => {:name => "FRENCH", :code => "fr", :reliable => true}
Add this line to your application's Gemfile:
gem 'cld2', require 'cld'
And then execute:
$ bundle
Thanks to the Chrome authors, and to Mike McCandless for writing a Python version. Thanks to Jason Toy for the original cld v1.0 ruby port.
