I need to detect the language of a huge amount of files, and I was wondering if there is some tool which I could use in a way similar to this, in linux command shell:
langdetector filetodetect > detectedlangfile

Could you add more requirements for the proposed software? What environments does it needs to run? Command line only? Price/free? Anything that could be used to refine a search. – Alejandro May 16 '18 at 14:46

I've added "in linux command shell:" to the question, thanks – Andrés Chandía May 16 '18 at 15:02
Apache Tika can do that for 18 languages: Danish, German, Estonian, Greek, English, Spanish, Finnish, French, Hungarian, Icelandic, Italian, Dutch, Norwegian, Polish, Portuguese, Russian, Swedish and Thai
the command on linux would be: java -jar tika-app-1.18.jar -l filetodetect > detectedlangfile 2>/dev/null

It wasn't at your list but it also detects Catalan which I also needed... – Andrés Chandía May 17 '18 at 12:48

Yes, more languages are supported, but I can't seem to find an up to date list – tischepe May 17 '18 at 13:19
