Hi everyone!

I have a field "content" in my index with text in it.

I would like to be able to create a field "language" that would detect the language of my field "content", is this possible?

Please help me with the procedure.

Thank you in advance for your future answers.

Hi @meyer1

If you have a license to use machine learning in Elasticsearch, this is possible through data ingestion jobs, you can get more details through the link:
