  Description     : Compact Language Detector v3

CLD3 is a neural network model for language identification. The model outputs
BCP-47-style language codes. For some languages, output is differentiated by
script. Language and script names from Unicode CLDR.

This model is a new dependency of latest versions of Telegram Desktop. CLD3 is
designed to run in the Chrome browser, so it relies on code in Chromium. In
Debian, we are faced with the question of the appropriateness of maintaining
the library as a separate package.

This library ships already trained model and thus may be subject to the
ML-Policy Draft [1]. Although, another language detector, CLD2, is already
packaged in Debian as the cld2 source package.
