The Tomedes Language Detector Now Also Provides Free Sample Translation

Working with multilingual content often means encountering text in unfamiliar languages. This could be a business email from an international client, a social media comment in mixed languages, or a document without context. In any of these cases, identifying the language quickly and accurately is essential to ensure a smooth translation workflow.

That’s exactly what the Tomedes Language Detector is built for. Now, the tool has been significantly upgraded to provide even more speed, accuracy, and usability.

The latest updates to this free language detection tool make it more powerful and intuitive, whether it is used by translators, project managers, or global business teams. These enhancements are designed to deliver immediate clarity, helping users focus on high-quality content delivery in any language.

What is the Tomedes Language Detector?

The Tomedes Language Detector accepts pasted text, uploaded files, or URLs and instantly identifies the language or multiple languages present.

It is capable of detecting both monolingual and multilingual content and provides a percentage breakdown for each identified language. For instance, a file that is 80% Spanish and 20% Portuguese will reflect that in the results. The tool is fast, free, and built to streamline translation workflows from the very first step.

What’s new in the Tomedes Language Detector?

Recent updates make the tool more accurate, feature-rich, and user-friendly. These upgrades are based on user feedback and focused on enhancing efficiency and output quality.

1. Enhanced prompt accuracy

The core detection prompt has been upgraded to deliver better language recognition accuracy, especially for short, complex, or mixed-language content. For example, a message containing both Filipino and English will now be correctly separated and identified by language—a task that traditionally challenged many detection tools.

Why it matters: Language is accurately identified even in nuanced or hybrid texts, saving time and improving translation readiness.

2. Sample translation of the first 200 words

Now, the tool automatically provides a sample translation of the first 200 words of the uploaded or pasted content. This preview is displayed in the user’s browser language, offering immediate insight into what the content says—without any setup required.

For instance, if the original document is in French and the browser language is English, the output will include both the language detection result and an English translation of the beginning of the document.

3. Download results in CSV or XLS format

Users can now download detection results in CSV or XLS formats, making it easier to share, organize, or store the findings.

Each downloadable report includes:

• Detected languages

• Language percentage breakdown

• (When available) the sample translation

This feature is especially valuable for translation project managers, localization specialists, and freelance linguists handling high volumes of multilingual files.

4. Sharable link generated only on click

To keep things clean and secure, a unique URL is now created only when the “Copy Link” icon is clicked. If sharing the results is needed, simply click the icon and share the generated link as desired—no automatic links, no clutter, just control.

Benefits: Cleaner, more secure sharing when collaborating with clients or colleagues—only when needed.

6. Expanded file format support

The Tomedes Language Detector now supports a wide range of file types, including documents, spreadsheets, presentations, and images. This flexibility ensures the tool can analyze nearly any format encountered in professional translation and content workflows.

Supported file types:

Text & Document Files:

• PDF, TXT, DOCX, DOC

• CSV, XLSX, XLS, ODS
