N-Gram Language Detection in Ruby

For technical details about language detection, I recommend this paper:

Installation

sudo gem sources -a gems.github.com (you only have to do this once) sudo gem install igrigorik-language_detector

Usage

require 'language_detector'

# using generated model (built from scratch)
d = LanguageDetector.new
p d.detect('this text is in English')

# using textcat n-gram model
d = LanguageDetector.new('tc')
p d.detect('this text is in English')

Thanks
