langident - identifies the language files are written in

  langident [OPTIONS] file1 [file2 ...]

Identifies the language files are written in using Perl module Lingua::Identify.

Show all results (not just the most probable language).

Select an input encoding. Defaults to UTF-8.

  # use ISO-8859-1 (latin1)
  langident -E ISO-8859-1 file

Select the method(s) to use. There are three ways of doing this:

  # simply using a method
  langident -e ngrams3 file

  # using several methods (separate them with a comma)
  langident -e prefixes3,suffixes3

  # using several methods and assign different weights to each of them
  langident -e smallwords=2,prefixes=1,ngrams3=1.3

The available methods are the following: smallwords, prefixes1, prefixes2, prefixes3, prefixes4, suffixes1, suffixes2, suffixes3, suffixes4, ngrams1, ngrams2, ngrams3 and ngrams4.

Display help message and exit.

Only work with specified languages.

  # identify between Portuguese and English only
  langident -o pt,en *
