Abstract
Implementations of the present disclosure are directed to a method, a system, and a computer program storage device for identifying a language in a message. Non-language characters are removed from a text message to generate a sanitized text message. An alphabet and/or a script are detected in the sanitized text message by performing at least one of (i) an alphabet-based language detection test to determine a first set of scores and (ii) a script-based language detection test to determine a second set of scores. Each score in the first set of scores represents a likelihood that the sanitized text message includes the alphabet for one of a plurality of different languages. Each score in the second set of scores represents a likelihood that the sanitized text message includes the script for one of the plurality of different languages. The language in the sanitized text message is identified based on at least one of the first set of scores, the second set of scores, and a combination of the first and second sets of scores.
