Detect Language vs LibreTranslate
Detect Language
Detect Language API identifies the language of arbitrary text across 216 supported languages, returning confidence-scored results for both single and batch requests. It's built for routing, moderation, and translation-pipeline pre-processing, with a free plan available alongside paid volume tiers.
LibreTranslate
LibreTranslate is the open-source machine-translation engine's hosted API, translating text across dozens of languages without routing data through a third-party cloud vendor. The public libretranslate.com instance now requires an API key issued through its billing portal, with a free tier plus metered paid plans for higher volume.
