Tools to Identify a Foreign Language

Use these language detecting tools to identify a foreign language and have it translated. Should you come across sentences or words written in a foreign language that you cannot identify, here are some language detecting tools that will tell you the name of that foreign language.

Google Translate

Also known as the “Google AJAX Language API for Language Detection”, this simple tool will help you detect a foreign language easily. Simply paste a couple words in the search box and the service tries to detect the language entered. The more text you enter increases the accuracy of this foreign language detector.

If Google Translate cannot determine the foreign language of your text, try this language identifier alternative. This web-based tool identifies the language of any text, but unlike Google Translate, the text analysis takes place in the web browser and no information is sent across the internet.
