Robust automatic language detection
Guess-language is a buffer-local minor mode. It guesses the language of the current paragraph when flyspell detects an incorrect word and changes Ispell's dictionary and typo-mode (if present) accordingly. If the language settings change, flyspell is rerun but only on the current paragraph. Guess-language thus supports documents using multiple languages. If the paragraph is shorter than some user-defined value, none of the above happens because there is likely not enough text to guess the language correctly. Custom functions can be triggered when a new language is detected such that users can do things like changing the input method when needed. The detection algorithm is based on counts of character trigrams. At this time, supported languages are Arabic, Czech, Danish, Dutch, English, Esperanto, Finnish, French, German, Italian, Norwegian, Polish, Portuguese, Russian, Serbian, Slovak, Slovenian, Spanish, Swedish and Vietnamese. Adding further languages is very easy and this package already contains language statistics for 49 additional languages.
