It wraps langdetect under the hood and exposes language predictions as custom attributes (doc._.language and span._.language) on spaCy Doc and Span objects. The package was forked from spacy-langdetect to fix a seed problem and add spaCy 3.0 support.\n\nThe component is fully customizable: you can replace the default langdetect detector with your own language detection function (e.g., googletrans or pycld2) by passing a callable to the LanguageDetector constructor. This makes it useful for pipelines where you need language identification as a preprocessing or filtering step, or where you want to swap detection backends without rewriting integration code.","worth_installing":"No. The package is abandoned (last update 2021-09-08, 1801 days ago) with no maintenance signal. While it has low install friction and no known vulnerabilities, the lack of updates means it may break with newer spaCy versions or Python releases. If you need language detection in spaCy, consider maintaining a fork or using a more actively maintained alternative."},"id":"spacy-language-detection","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/spacy-language-detection","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/spacy-language-detection.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/spacy-language-detection/"},"maintenance":{"status":"abandoned"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2021-09-08","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"copyleft","name":"spacy-language-detection","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"Fully customizable language detection for spaCy pipeline"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":992917,"position":4557,"tier":"top_5000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"0.2.1"}
