In some embodiments, a method for detecting a language of an Internationalized Domain Name (IDN) comprises receiving, by an I/O interface, a string of characters for the IDN; receiving training data, including a plurality of multi-gram analysis for a set of languages; analyzing, by a processor, the string of characters based on the training data, wherein the analyzing includes extracting a set of multi-grams from the string of characters and comparing the extracted set of multi-grams with the training data; detecting the language of the IDN based on results of the analyzing. In some embodiments, the method further comprises comparing the detected language of the IDN with a user selected language and using the IDN to generate a domain name, if the comparing indicates that the detected language of the IDN is consistent with the user selected language.
