Languid
I've set up a little web service for identifying language. If you paste in some text (the more the better), it will tell you what language it's in. Not rocket science, but perhaps useful to somebody.
There's an API for people who like to do things programatically.
Note that I'm logging all the queries, so you don't have to email me and say "I pasted BLAH and it gave me the wrong answer". But any other feedback is welcome.
Check it out at http://languid.cantbedone.org.
For the curious, this is the same algorithm as TextCat, except with Unicode smarts built in.
