  Description     : Language Detection Library for Java

This software uses language profiles which were created based on
common text for each language. N-grams, a contiguous sequence of n
items from a given sample of text, were then extracted from that text
and stored in the profiles. When trying to figure out in what
language a certain text is written, the program goes through the same
process: It creates the same kind of n-grams of the input text. Then
it compares the relative frequency of them, and finds the language
that matches best. Currently 71 languages are supported.
