How It Works

1. The tool takes a text input from the command line.
2. It uses the franc library to detect the language code.
3. The langs library maps the detected code to a language name.
4. If the language cannot be determined (und) or is unsupported, the tool provides feedback to the user.

Limitations

• Short or ambiguous text may return und (undefined)
• Some rare languages may not be supported by the langs package.
