ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for providing flexible text based language identification includes an alphabet scoring element, an n-gram frequency element and a processing element. The alphabet scoring element may be configured to receive an entry in a computer readable text format and to calculate an alphabet score of the entry for each of a plurality of languages. The n-gram frequency element may be configured to calculate an n-gram frequency score of the entry for each of the plurality of languages. The processing element may be in communication with the n-gram frequency element and the alphabet scoring element. The processing element may also be configured to determine a language associated with the entry based on a combination of the alphabet score and the n-gram frequency score.
