A Rust library for natural language detection using trigram models, focusing on simplicity and performance.
What is whatlang-rs?
Whatlang is a Rust library for natural language detection that identifies the language and script of text using trigram models. It solves the problem of efficiently determining the language of user-generated content in applications like search engines and text processing tools. The library supports 70 languages and provides reliability metrics to ensure accurate detection.
Rust developers building applications that require language identification, such as search engines, content moderation systems, or multilingual text processing tools. It is particularly useful for projects prioritizing performance and simplicity in NLP tasks.
Developers choose Whatlang for its focus on performance, simplicity, and reliability, with a pure Rust implementation that ensures speed and safety. It offers a straightforward API, script detection, and confidence scoring, making it a lightweight alternative to heavier NLP libraries.
