Ken Krugler commented on TIKA-568:
----------------------------------
The new LanguageDetector API has a getRawScore() call on the result, which will
return a value from 1.0 (certain match) down to (but not including) 0.0 (no
match).
> Language Detection isReasonablyCertain() hides valuable information

> LanguageIdentifier.isReasonablyCertain() hardcodes a threshold for language
> detection, which is fine, except applications should be allowed to decide
> what threshold suits them. For instance, how was 0.022 decided?
