Abstract
A method is implemented at a computer to determine that certain information content is composed or compiled in a specific language selected among two or more similar languages. The computer integrates a first vocabulary list of a first language and a second vocabulary list of a second language into a comprehensive vocabulary list. The integrating includes analyzing the first vocabulary list in view of the second vocabulary list to identify a first vocabulary sub-list that is used in the first language, but not in the second language. The computer then identifies, in the information content, a plurality of expressions that are included in the comprehensive vocabulary list, and a subset of expressions that are included in the first vocabulary sub-list. Upon a determination that a total frequency of occurrence of the subset of expressions meets predetermined occurrence criteria, the computer determines that the information content is composed in the first language.
