Python - can I detect unicode string language code?

Question

I\'m faced with a situation where I\'m reading a string of text and I need to detect the language code (en, de, fr, es, etc).

Is there a simple way to do this in py

Answer 1

Look at Natural Language Toolkit and Automatic Language Identification using Python for ideas.

I would like to know if a Bayesian filter can get language right but I can't write a proof of concept right now.
