MLKitLanguageID Framework Reference

  • The LanguageIdentification class identifies the primary language and possible languages of a given text.

  • It provides methods to create instances with default or custom options using languageIdentification() and languageIdentification(options:).

  • The identifyLanguage(for:completion:) method identifies the main language, while identifyPossibleLanguages(for:completion:) identifies multiple potential languages.

  • Input texts exceeding 200 characters are truncated for language identification as longer input doesn't enhance accuracy.
