I have an application that accepts input in two languages (English and Arabic) I'm validating the input textbox , the validation logic is not the same for English and Arabic, so I need to know what is the language the user is typing
all the solutions I came across determined the default language for the system and browser but nothing I found helped me determining the current input language
You can do this using Google's AJAX Language API
var content = "your text";
google.language.detect(content, function(result) {
if (!result.error) {
var language = 'unknown';
for (lang in google.language.Languages) {
if (google.language.Languages[lang] == result.language) {
language = lang;
break;
}
}
// Now use the variable `language`
}
});
