I got a reply saying that the "punctuation" needs to be correct, and this appears to be the case. The detect language function appears to see basic Roman lettering as English, even if the word is not in the English dictionary. It would be useful if the detect language function focused on the words rather than the letters. Something along the lines of seeing the basic Roman lettering equivalent of a word with diacritical marks as a common misspelling. It would also be nice if the translate function indicated when a word was not in the source language, rather than giving a false translation into the target language.
