## 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 text-language-detect-6f39c0c5
```

Example prompt: What language is this text written in, and how confident are you? Here's the text: 'Les champs de lavande de Provence sont magnifiques en été.'

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need fast, low-cost language identification with a confidence signal across a well-defined set of 17 languages (European + CJK + Arabic + Russian), especially to route text to the appropriate translation or NLP model. Prefer this over general-purpose NLP APIs when cost per call ($0.01) and breadth of script-level detection for non-Latin scripts (Arabic, Russian, CJK) are priorities.

## Known failure modes

- Very short text snippets may yield low confidence scores or incorrect detection
- Mixed-language text may produce ambiguous or incorrect results
- Languages outside the supported set (12 European + Japanese, Chinese, Korean, Arabic, Russian) will not be correctly identified
- Empty input string may return an error or null result
- Transliterated text or text in non-native scripts may reduce accuracy

## How this service works

Language detection for text you send: one of 12 European languages plus Japanese, Chinese, Korean, Arabic and Russian by script, with a confidence score. Route text to the right model or translator. $0.01 per call.

## Output

Returns the detected language name (e.g. 'French', 'Japanese', 'Arabic') and a confidence score indicating how certain the model is about the classification, enabling downstream routing or validation decisions.
