This package is designed to detect a language from a character string in R by acessing the languagelayer API — https://languagelayer.com/
This package offers a language detection tool by connecting to the languagelayer API, a JSON interface designed to extract language information from a character string.
Install this package directly in R :
From CRAN :
install.packages("languagelayeR")
From Github :
devtools::install_github("ColinFay/languagelayeR")
The version 1.1.0 works with two functions. Which are :
get_lang
Get language information from a character string
get_supported_lang
Get all current accessible languages on the languagelayer API
Before any request on the languagelayer, you need to get your API key from your language layer dashboard.
Detect a language from a character string.
get_lang(query = "I really really love R and that's a good thing, right?", api_key = "your_api_key")
List all the languages available on the languagelayer API.
get_supported_lang(api_key = "your_api_key")
