✨ NAME ✨

okay bestie, gather round — this page is all about make-lingua-identify-language 💖 and its whole entire job is creating language modules for Lingua::Identify. That's it, that's the gig. 👑

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

three whole ways to run this thing, pick your fighter:

make-lingua-identify-language Language-Tag Language-Name file1 [file2 ...]

or, if you're feeling directory-ish:

make-lingua-identify-language -d TAG1-LANGUAGE1/ [TAG2-LANGUAGE2/ ...]

or literally just:

make-lingua-identify

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So what it does is create language modules that Lingua::Identify uses. That's the whole vibe. ✨

heads up though: after it makes the modules, you still have to install them yourself. It does not do that part for you, bestie. not me doing half the job 💅

real talk: this script is still at an early stage. The original author says please do not even look at the code... 😭 so like, respect the boundary, don't peek.

If you run it with no parameters at all, make-lingua-identify-language assumes mode -d and goes through all the directories in the current one. Super handy when you're sitting in a directory that looks something like this:

.
|-- en-english
|   `-- english.txt
|-- fr-french
|   `-- french1.txt
|   `-- french2.txt
`-- pt-portuguese
    `-- portuguese.txt

💅 OPTIONS 💅

  • -d — Directory mode. Every parameter you pass should be a directory, and that directory's name has to be in the form tag-name (think en-english/). Each directory you pass should hold text files you can use to train Lingua::Identify. 🎀
  • -D — Debug mode. Only for development, so like... devs only, iykyk.
  • -h — Shows you the help, then dips out. 🫶
  • -v — Shows the version, then dips out. ⭐
  • -verbose — Verbose mode. It's gonna tell you everything.
  • -locale="<locale>" — Sets a specific locale. The way this works is your text gets all lowercased before it's analysed. lowercase era fr fr 🌸

🎀 META.yml 🎀

META.yml files are not parsed like the other files — they get ignored, periodt.

But in directory mode (the -d switch), META.yml files do get checked for info on language codes and sets. 👀

Here's a simple META.yml for you to drop into your directories:

two_letter_code:   pt
three_letter_code: por
sets:
  spoken_in_portugal

With that in place, the language gets identified with the two letter code pt or the three letter code por, and it'll also be in the set :spoken_in_portugal. iconic ✨

🌈 CONTRIBUTING WITH NEW LANGUAGES 🌈

okay this part matters, listen up bestie:

Please do not contribute modules you made yourself. It's way easier to contribute with unprocessed text, because that means new versions of Lingua::Identify don't have to drop languages down if the author can't contact you by that time. the way that unprocessed text is the move 💅

If you absolutely must, sure, use make-lingua-identify-language to create a new module for your own personal use — but please, please try to contribute the unprocessed text rather than those modules. 🥺
