textproc/py-langid 1.1.6.20170715_2 DragonFly

langid.py is a standalone Language Identification (LangID) tool.

The design principles are as follows:

Fast
Pre-trained over a large number of languages (currently 97)
Not sensitive to domain-specific features (e.g. HTML/XML markup)
Single .py file with minimal dependencies
Deployable as a web service

Remark: the main script langid/langid.py is cross-compatible with both Python2 and Python3, but the accompanying training tools are still Python2-only, hence not installed by this port.

See also the port textproc/py-langdetect for a similar program.
