Copy this CA : Language Identifier - Xerox XRCE
On-line demo of Xerox's language identifier (commercial) 47 languages, not terribly actively maintained. I believe this was originally created by one of their Finnish researchers in XRCE Grenoble once upon a time ... I also got the impression that this one was the first to make a conscious effort at supporting different character set encodings. Fun Observation: the Danish sample Sentence uses ancient German-Style Capitalization Rules (-: ... and the Norwegian is (predictably) unlabelled, although I believe it's Bokmål. And it's incorrectly punctuated.

Copy this IBM Linguini: Globalizing your e-business
Vector-space -based language identification (commercial) There's a link there to a paper which was also published at the 32nd Hawaii International Conference on System Sciences (1999) -- I'll try to find that and submit to CiteSeer too. The vector-space cosine distance measure makes more theoretical sense to me than the others I've seen, but I haven't had the time to compare their performance head-to-head.

Copy this Autistic Savant Learns Icelandic Language in Just 7 Days
Comments on a TV show about the savant syndrome I saw the show on TV a couple of months ago. Amazing, but maybe leaning basic Icelandic in a week is not *that* exciting. If you got sponsored to do nothing else for a week, I imagine you could learn some Icelandic as well (though probably not as well as this guy, for most values of "you"). Too lazy to create a digg account just to comment on this, but it's incredible what sorts of conceptions some people have about languages: "Icelandic has linguistic connections many thousands of years back to Lithuanian and Estonian, which probably helped him a little." Hello? Icelandic has more in common with English than with either of those two. (And Icelandic didn't exist as a language "thousands of years" ago, although if you go back far enough, Icelandic and Lithuanian have a common ancestor language.)

Copy this Wishlist item: Ability to classify language and coding system of entry's fields and linked site
As the site grows, it will be increasingly useful to be able to focus on languages you understand Ideally, the site would be able to supply a meaningful default guess for every field, and a user preference for which languages to display and/or suggest. See also the Accept-Language HTTP header. Gertjan van Noord's TextCat is a fairly popular Perl-based language identification module. (It's not actually a proper module, but you can get a modularized version e.g. from the SpamAssassin sources.) Samma på svenska. Ja suomeksikin.

Cavnar, Trenkle (1994) - the popular paper behind TextCat et al. The ranking algorithm is kind of screwy, until you think of it as editing distance in an alphabet where each n-gram is a distinct symbol. Maybe it's still screwy.

Blankenhorn asserts Kannada is "unpopular" How can a language with more speakers than Dutch, Danish, Norwegian, Swedish, and Finnish combined be called "unpopular"?

Feel free to include them in the count if you're keeping score.) http://www.ethnologue.com/show_language.asp?code=kan
