CLD::Detector

Initialize and allocate a copy of the native C++ library

    # File lib/CLD.rb, line 45
45:     def initialize
46:       @native = CLDNative.new
47:     end

Detect the language of text using the provided options (see below). For example:

   detector = CLD::Detector.new
   result = detector.detect_language("I'm a little teapot.")
   puts result.probable_language.code
   #=> 'en'

Or, you can pass a block which will be called with the result object:

   detector = CLD::Detector.new
   detector.detect_language("I'm a little teapot.") do |result|
     puts result.probable_language.code
     #=> 'en'
   end
   

The options can include:

• :html if the text contains HTML that should be ignored

• :all_languages test language outside of the core set (quality if not as good)

• :weak_matches include weak matches in the results

75:       else
