FAQ
Example:
In general, it is recommended to use always a project to download your libraries. In an application normally there is more than one library needed.
- Some hosting areas are not accessible by a terminal or SSH. Then it is not possible to use Composer.
- To use Composer is sometimes complicated. Especially for beginners.
- Composer needs much resources. Sometimes they are not available on a simple webspace.
- If you are using private repositories you don't need to share your credentials. You can set up everything on our site and then you provide a simple download link to your team member.
- Simplify your Composer build process. Use our own command line tool to download the vendor folder as binary. This makes your build process faster and you don't need to expose your credentials for private repositories.

LanguageLayer API client for PHP
Perform language detection in PHP using the LanguageLayer API.
Note: LanguageLayer is not being maintained anymore, and API calls started failing as of November 2020. This library is therefore archived.
Installation
This library is installable via Composer:
Requirements
This library requires PHP 7.1 or later.
Quickstart
You need a free API key from LanguageLayer to get started.
Just instantiate the LanguageLayer client, and start detecting:
The detectLanguages() method returns an array of LanguageDetectionResult objects,
that you can inspect to decide what to do with each detected language.
Using https
You can use the API over a secure connection, if you have a paid plan that supports it:
Detecting a single language
As a convenience, the detectLanguage() method helps you detect a single language from a text:
This method loops through the results to find a single reliable result. If it there is no reliable result, but the API
returned a single result, it will also accept it, unless the second parameter, $forceReliable, is set to true:
If no single, acceptable result is found, a LanguageDetectionException is thrown.
Error handling
Any kind of error—an HTTP error, an error returned by the API, or any other kind of error related to this
library—throws a LanguageDetectionException.
Therefore you should wrap all your detectLanguage() and detectLanguages() calls in a try/catch block:
If the exception was caused by an HTTP error, you can inspect the underlying Guzzle exception
by calling $exception->getPrevious() if needed.
If the exception was caused by an error returned by the LanguageLayer API itself, you can inspect it,
in addition to the exception message, with $exception->getCode() and $exception->getType().
You can, for example, act upon specific API errors:
Note: if the exception was not caused by an error returned by the API itself, getType() will return null.
See the LanguageLayer documentation for a list of error codes and types.
