Joern Kottmann commented on OPENNLP-788:
----------------------------------------
Maybe the following interface would be suitable:
public interface LanguageDetector {
Language[] detectLanguage(CharSequence content);
Set<String> getSupportedLanguages();
String getLanguageCoding();
}
The doccat component can already do language detection with a custom factory.
Maybe we can find a way to build a language detector based on the doccat work.
This would avoid quite some code duplication.

> Many of the components in OpenNLP are sensitive to the input language. It
> would be nice if OpenNLP would have a component to detect the language of an
> input text.
> Two commonly used solutions today are:
> Apache Tikas Language Identifier
> Language Detection from Shuyo, Nakatani
