That matches my use case.

Hmm... I'm not sure I really need per-graf language capabilities. I'm
bilingual, but I'm trying to keep one document in one language. ;) And
if I fail, it certainly won't fail on graf boundaries but right in the
middle of a sentence. :p

auto-dict has 97000 downloads while guess-lang has 900. I would wait a
bit more for guess-language to stabilize and popularize before packaging
it. Also note that github has "0 releases" for guess-lang.
