Frequently Asked Questions

Not precisely — it detects which Unicode script your text uses (Devanagari, Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, or Latin), which is a rough proxy for language, not true linguistic detection. Real language identification looks at word patterns and grammar, not just character ranges.

Because Hindi, Marathi, and Sanskrit all share the same Devanagari script — detecting the script alone can't distinguish between languages that use the same set of characters, so it's reported as a group.

No — all of those languages use the Latin alphabet, so text in any of them is detected simply as "English/Latin" since script detection can't see the difference between Latin-alphabet languages.

It checks for the presence of each script range and reports the first match found in a fixed priority order, so text mixing multiple scripts will only show one detected result, not a breakdown of all scripts present.
