US Patent 7979266 Method and system of language detection

Systems, methods, computer-readable media and other embodiments are provided for automatically determining a language of a document from a set of candidate languages. In one embodiment, a system includes a logic for setting an assumption value associated with each of the languages of the set of candidate languages where the assumption value indicates that the document is not in the language. A language analyzer determines the language and generates an output that indicates that the document is one language of the candidate languages when the assumption value for the one language passes a threshold value.
