Hi, here is a small plugin for the upcoming 0.20 Elasticsearch release. It is a language detector plugin, a revamped version of the implementation of Nakatani Shuyo's language detector at [http://code.google.com/p/language-detection/](http://code.google.com/p/language-detection/) The plugin is available at [https://github.com/jprante/elasticsearch-langdetect](https://github.com/jprante/elasticsearch-langdetect) It offers a REST endpoint where a short text can be posted to in UTF-8, and Elasticsearch responds with a list of recognized languages. Currently, it does not provide automatic language-aware indexing. It is just for your convenience. You have to evaluate the response by yourself and take the appropriate language-dependent action. Note: it does not work on Elasticsearch 0.19 because of API changes in the REST action implementation. Cheers and happy language detecting, Jörg -- ---

Jörg should think of opening a JorgPranteAppStore (with an ES instance to search for plugins) 😉 -- David 😉 Twitter : @dadoonet / @elasticsearchfr / @scrutmydocs Le 23 nov. 2012 à 09:28, Tanguy [tlrx.dev@gmail.com](mailto:tlrx.dev@gmail.com) a écrit : > Thanks Jorg! > > You are a great producer of elasticsearch's plugins 🙂 > > -- Tanguy > Twitter: @tlrx > [tlrx (Tanguy Leroux) · GitHub](https://github.com/tlrx) > > Le vendredi 23 novembre 2012 02:21:59 UTC+1, Jörg Prante a écrit : > Hi, > > here is a small plugin for the upcoming 0.20 Elasticsearch release.
