ABSTRACT:
The language in which a computer document is written is identified. A plurality of words from the document are compared to words in a word list associated with a candidate language. The words in the word list are a selection of the most frequently used words in the candidate language. A count of matches between words in the document and words in the word list for each word in the word list to produce a sample count. The sample count is correlated to a reference count for the candidate language to produce a correlation score for the candidate language. The language of the document is identified based on the correlation score. Generally, there are a plurality of candidate languages. Thus, comparing, accumulating, correlating and identifying processes are practiced for each language. The language of the document is identified as the candidate language having a reference count which generates a highest correlation score.
