Detects the language of a given piece of text.
The package attempts to detect the language of a sample of text by correlating ranked 3-gram frequencies to a table of 3-gram frequencies of known languages.
It implements a version of a technique originally proposed by Cavnar & Trenkle (1994): "N-Gram-Based Text Categorization".
This is a fork of Text_LanguageDetect 0.3.0 (alpha).
PHP Version: PHP 5.3 or newer
