Detect Language of NSString

Question

Somebody told me about a class for language recognition in Cocoa. Does anybody know which one it is?

This is not working:

NSSpellCh         


        

Answer 1

A swift String extension for Jennifer's answer:

extension String {
    func language() -> String? {
        let tagger = NSLinguisticTagger(tagSchemes: [NSLinguisticTagSchemeLanguage], options: 0)
        tagger.string = self
        return tagger.tagAtIndex(0, scheme: NSLinguisticTagSchemeLanguage, tokenRange: nil, sentenceRange: nil)
    }
}

Usage:

let language = "What language is this?".language()
