I'm having some issues with DetectLanguage function. Does someone knows if it required some number of words to recognize a language? I\m using it for email and whatsapp, and for an example if someone send a messege in whatsapp with the body only "Bounjour" it was not recognized as French, and for me that's really weird, or in a email with majority of the body in French but with a signature in english the language was not recognized. I checked in the execution history and the function detectlanguage(email.message.body, "") returned "", so it means that the language was not detected.

Any ideas or suggestions?

Hi Breno Silva

My suggestion is to split the text into smaller parts, run DetectLanguage in a loop, count which language appears most, and use that as the dominant one. If none are recognized, use a default language.

Another alternative would be to use a Data Action function to create Node.js code that uses a library capable of detecting the language and returning that information for you.

Hi @Breno Silva

Try use the "ToString" fuction into the sentence like DetectLanguage(ToString(email.message.body), "").

Then send us a feedback!
