I had so many issues in GWT especially the language detection and transliteration functionalities.
Language Detection failed by more than 50% of our records(for which we wanted to detect the language used). The longer the string the better was the success..However, stiill, it goofed up with irrelevant language code values being returned. GWT - nice try but a long way to go.. Transliteration was good but Translation & language detection functionalities (their implementation ) gave us many sleepless nights.. A string of 3-4 words gave ridiculous answers.. Hindi & Marathi (foreign languages) also were giving wrong values.. I am happy about GWT but need improvements before using them with confidence..
