There is nothing standard in C#, .NET, Win32, whatever.

And there is no 100% reliable method to do that.
In what language is "chat"? Is is English, or French (cat)?
The longer the text, the better the chances, but nothing can be 100%
reliable.

But there are some decent statistical methods.

Here are some links (or Google for language identification algorithm):

I think he was asking about the run-time langauge and not 'speaking
language'. If that's the case, OP can get the current culture and language
from the thread of execution. That would work for local applications. If the
string is remoted from another appdomain, you can find the executing thread
as well.

The last sentence in the OP leads me, as well as Mihal, to believe that the
OP'er is asking about spoken language (where the e.g. part is 'english,
hindi, spanish, etc.').
