Language Identification: The First Step in Processing Intelligence A prerequisite to processing multilingual documents for search, intelligence analysis, e-discovery or digital forensics is knowing the language and encoding system of each file. Rosette Language Identifier (RLI) is one of the most widely used language identifiers used in the commercial or government space today. Based on a statistical model, RLI has performance advantages over dictionary-based language identifiers and does not require updating as new vocabulary enters a language. Unlike language identification that relies on character code range, RLI easily distinguishes languages which share the same writing system, such as Russian vs. Ukrainian, or Arabic vs. Persian. This talk presents an overview of RLI and discuss the techniques it uses to automatically identify document language and encoding of documents. We will also discuss how to use all the data points from RLI to measure confidence levels of an identification result or to achieve more fine-grained results.
