# auor.io (Oreo) - Language Detection via Google Translate

> auor.io (Oreo) - Language Detection via Google Translate is a paid API for AI agents from api.auor.io, paid per call via x402, $0.001/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-09-15).

Detects the language of a given text string using Google Translate's detection engine

## Facts

Status and success rate cover calls made through Zero and Zero's own probes. Third-party monitors may report differently.

## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability google-translate-language-detection-via-auor-io-fd86e8d8 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: What language is this text written in: 'Bonjour, comment allez-vous aujourd'hui?'

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to programmatically identify the language of an arbitrary text string before translation or routing, especially within an x402 micropayment-enabled agent workflow where no account or subscription is required. Prefer this over manual language checks or heavier NLP pipelines when a lightweight, pay-per-call language detection call is sufficient.

## Known failure modes

- Empty or missing 'input' field returns a validation error
- Text too short or ambiguous may result in low-confidence or incorrect detection
- Unsupported or mixed-language text may reduce accuracy
- Non-textual input (numbers, symbols only) may return uncertain results
- Network or upstream Google Translate API failure returns a 5xx error
- Payment failure via x402 protocol returns a 402 Payment Required error

## How this service works

Detect the language of a given text

## Output

Returns the detected language of the input text, typically including an ISO 639-1 language code (e.g. 'fr' for French) and a confidence score indicating how certain the detection is.
