DR,
You can't tell definitively. The best you could do is check each character in the string and then see what code chart the character is a part of (you will have to find out which code charts you want to support, as there is no way in .NET (AFAIK) that you can find this out) and then make a determination from there. The thing is, many characters are used interchangibly (for example, an "a" is used in a number of languages), so you can't be sure what language the code chart is used for. In the end, you are better off having the user specify the language. |

You can use the Encoding class to find out if a string can convert to some
code page. However, words like "comment" or "gift" or "air" will be fully representable in lots and lots of code pages, not just in the code pages that are commonly used for French and German and Indonesian. Even if you decide somehow to choose a favourite code page, I still don't think a C# method is going to tell you that those strings are French, German, and Indonesian. You can use Google to translate those strings to English. The original poster might be in for a surprise. "Nicholas Paldino [.NET/C# MVP]" <mvp> wrote in message news:5160 [..] |

Don't forget words like: configure, extra, local, visual, simple, produce,
constructor, variable. The only way to figure out is these word corresponds to english or spanish is not only checking the word itself, but the context they're used. Greetings, "Norman Diamond" <ndiamond> escribio en el mensaje de noticias:##ahjGyYIHA.1132... [..] |

If it is normal text in the languages, then you may be able to deduce something from the frequencies of letters. Arne |
