In this tutorial, you will learn how to use language detection in 5 minutes using JavaScript. Eden AI provides an easy and developer-friendly API that allows you to detect language in text.
Language Detection automatically detects the language of any text input, making it a valuable asset in a variety of applications such as Machine Translation, Natural Language Processing (NLP) and Text Analysis. It's as simple as inputting a text string and receiving the detected language code, like "en" for English or "fr" for French. Many companies even offer Language Detection as a convenient API service, easily integratable with other programs.
The first step is to set Axios, a promise-based HTTP client for the browser and Node.js, that will allow you to call Eden AI API.

We offer a unified API for all providers: simple and standard to use, with a quick switch between providers and an access to the specific features of each provider.
The JSON output format is the same for all suppliers thanks to Eden AI's standardisation work. The response elements are also standardised thanks to Eden AI's powerful matching algorithms.
With Eden AI you have the possibility to integrate a third party platform: we can quickly develop connectors. To go further and customize your Language Detection request with specific parameters, check out our documentation.
