| Description: | Bindings to Google's C++ library Compact Language Detector 2 (see <https://github.com/cld2owners/cld2#readme> for more information). Probabilistically detects over 80 languages in plain text or HTML. For mixed-language input it returns the top three detected languages and their approximate proportion of the total classified text bytes (e.g. 80% English and 20% French out of 1000 bytes). There is also a 'cld3' package on CRAN which uses a neural network model instead. |

The function detect_language() is vectorised and guesses the the language of each string
in text or returns NA if the language could not reliably be determined. The function
detect_language_multi() is not vectorised and analyses the entire character vector as a
whole. The output includes the top 3 detected languages including the relative proportion
and the total number of text bytes that was reliably classified.
