</div>Hi,<br>
<br>
There's a project called Sonnet I believe, part of which is about<br>
discovering the language that a particular piece of text is written in. You<br>
might be able to work on that.</blockquote><div><br>There is a opensource library that already does that. There is an algorithm that is both fast enough and give reasonable results. I can port it to qt, there is some code in playground/sonnet<br>

<br>
Also, how about a grammar checker, similar to the spell checkers we already<br>
have, but for grammar, which could be used in kdepim, koffice, or anywhere.</blockquote><div><br>Some people argue that a grammar checker is not very useful. And anyway it looks pretty boring ...<br><br> </div></div><br>
