Language Detection with AI Builder: Routing Multilingual Content

Language detection automatically identifies the language of text content, enabling intelligent routing of multilingual communications and appropriate processing based on language.

Capabilities

supported_languages: 120+
output:
  - Detected language name
  - ISO language code
  - Confidence score

common_languages:
  - English (en)
  - Spanish (es)
  - French (fr)
  - German (de)
  - Portuguese (pt)
  - Chinese (zh)
  - Japanese (ja)

Basic Usage

// Detect language
DetectLanguageBtn.OnSelect =
    Set(
        LanguageResult,
        AIBuilder.DetectLanguage(InputText.Text)
    );

// Display result
LanguageLabel.Text = LanguageResult.language
LanguageCodeLabel.Text = "Code: " & LanguageResult.languageCode
ConfidenceLabel.Text = "Confidence: " & Text(LanguageResult.confidence * 100, "0") & "%"

Translation Workflow

// Detect language and translate if needed
ProcessMultilingualContent.OnSelect =
    Set(
        DetectedLang,
        AIBuilder.DetectLanguage(ContentText.Text)
    );

    If(
        DetectedLang.languageCode <> "en",
        // Translate to English for processing
        Set(
            TranslatedContent,
            // Use Microsoft Translator connector
            MicrosoftTranslator.Translate(
                ContentText.Text,
                "en",
                DetectedLang.languageCode
            )
        );
        Set(ProcessingText, TranslatedContent),
        Set(ProcessingText, ContentText.Text)
    );

    // Continue with English-based processing
    Set(
        Sentiment,
        AIBuilder.AnalyzeSentiment(ProcessingText)
    )
