Required input

A stream with a string property which contains a text. The longer the text, the higher the accuracy of the language detector.


Configuration

Simply assign the correct output of the previous stream to the language detector input. To use this component you have to download or train an openNLP model: https://opennlp.apache.org/models.html

Output

Adds two fields to the event:

  1. String Property: The acronym of the detected language which can be seen above.
  2. Double Property: The confidence of the detector that it found the correct language. Between 0 (not certain at all) and 1 (very certain).

Example:

Input: (text: "Hi, how are you?")

Output: (text: "Hi, how are you?", language: "eng", confidenceLanguage: 0.89)
