I've seen all kinds of references to language detection in ES 5.x (ie. [elasticsearch-langdetect](https://github.com/jprante/elasticsearch-langdetect)) but nothing for ES 6.x. Can someone direct me to the options for ES 6.x?

Check out this Elasticsearch Ingest plugin that's been actively maintained for 6.x: [https://github.com/spinscale/elasticsearch-ingest-langdetect](https://github.com/spinscale/elasticsearch-ingest-langdetect)
