# Language Detection

CFS can identify the language of a document, and write the name of the language to a document field. A front-end application could use this field to provide a way to filter documents by language. You can also use language detection to reject invalid documents (when a language cannot be detected).

Language detection can be configured as a post-import task. Set the `Post` parameter to `LangDetect` and specify the name of a configuration file section that contains the task settings. For example:

    [ImportTasks]
    Post0=LangDetect:LangDetectSettings

    [LangDetectSettings]
    LanguageDetectionDirectory=./filters/datafiles/
    OutputField=DetectedLanguage
    FailIfLanguageUnknown=TRUE

You must set the parameter `LanguageDetectionDirectory` to the path of the folder that contains the file `langdetect.dat`. The remaining parameters are optional. The parameter `OutputField` specifies the name of the document field to write the name of detected language to. By default, CFS rejects documents where it cannot detect a language but you can configure this by setting `FailIfLanguageUnknown`. To continue processing documents when a language cannot be detected, set `FailIfLanguageUnknown=FALSE`.
