Hi team,

I am currently on platinum plan of Elastic cloud.

I want to use the Language Identification feature in elasticsearch.I would like to use identify the language of a text field and add it as a separate column befire indexing into elasticsearch.

Should I install any plugin? Or how should I proceed?

I am currently using python to index data into elasticsearch(Any kind of python snippets would be really helpful).

Thanks,  
Antony.

I did not try it but AFAICS in the documentation, it should be available OOTB with a 7.9 cluster.

Have a look at:

> **[Language identification | Machine Learning in the Elastic Stack \[7.9\] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/machine-learning/current/ml-lang-ident.html)**

And

> **[Inference processor | Elasticsearch Reference \[7.9\] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/7.9/inference-processor.html)**
