Hi Karthik, We open-sourced the compact language detection library used by the translation feature in Chrome/Toolbar - http://src.chromium.org/viewvc/chrome/trunk/src/third_party/cld/
If you need to run Language Detection over a large amount of data that aren't end-user initiated requests, you should use this library.
