Abstract

The method of recognizing the language of a single word as to spelling and grammar correction (e.g., identifying the appropriate language resources on a document, paragraph, sentence or even individual word basis), the automatic invocation of transliteration software based on the language of the words (e.g., automatic ASCII to Kanji substitution without requiring the user to explicitly switch into a Kanji mode), the automatic invocation of appropriate machine translation tools when the document's language is different from the user's native tongue(s), the use of document language identification to eliminate from database or web search results any documents which are not written in the user's native language and the automatic identification of user-appropriate languages for the user interface.
