LangId: Foreign Language Identifier

There are various translation services online which help you translate text or a web page from one language to the other. But what if you don’t know what language it is in the first place? How would you identify it ?

LangId is a web based foreign language identifier which can help you easily identify almost any language. You could either copy paste the text directly, upload a document or email them the text to get the answer. They have also got a Twitter bot named @langidbot which could help you in identifying a language.
