Determine Human Language of Text

Completed Posted Aug 17, 2004 Paid on delivery

I need a routine in C# that can determine which human language a piece of random text is. For example, the string "This is an English sentence." would produce the output 'English' and "Esso es Espanol" would output 'Spanish'. Where 'English' and 'Spanish' would be labels of an enum.

Fortunately, there is an open source Perl program that is just a few pages that does a fairly reasonable job of this. It is available for download from:

<[url removed, login to view]~vannoord/TextCat/>

All I need is someone who is familiar with Perl to translate the program into C#. NO GUI required, except enough to test the program, it can even be a console application. I really don't care about the GUI at all.

While translating TextCat is probably the easiest approach, I will entertain any bids for alternative algorithms implemented in C# if the accuracy of the algorithm can be demonstrated to be above 95%.
