NAME

       Mail::SpamAssassin::Plugin::TextCat - TextCat language guesser

SYNOPSIS

	 loadplugin	Mail::SpamAssassin::Plugin::TextCat

DESCRIPTION

       This plugin will try to guess the language used in the message text.

       You can then specify which languages are considered okay for incoming mail and if the guessed language is not okay,
       "UNWANTED_LANGUAGE_BODY" is triggered

       It will always add the results to a "X-Language" name-value pair in the message metadata data structure. This may be useful as Bayes
       tokens. The results can also be added to marked-up messages using "add_header", with the _LANGUAGES_ tag. See Mail::SpamAssassin::Conf for
       details.

       Note: the language cannot always be recognized with sufficient confidence.  In that case, "UNWANTED_LANGUAGE_BODY" will not trigger.

USER OPTIONS

       ok_languages xx [ yy zz ... ]	  (default: all)
	   This option is used to specify which languages are considered okay for incoming mail.  SpamAssassin will try to detect the language
	   used in the message text.

	   Note that the language cannot always be recognized with sufficient confidence.  In that case, no points will be assigned.

	   The rule "UNWANTED_LANGUAGE_BODY" is triggered based on how this is set.

	   In your configuration, you must use the two or three letter language specifier in lowercase, not the English name for the language.
	   You may also specify "all" if a desired language is not listed, or if you want to allow any language.  The default setting is "all".

	   Examples:

	     ok_languages all	      (allow all languages)
	     ok_languages en	      (only allow English)
	     ok_languages en ja zh    (allow English, Japanese, and Chinese)

	   Note: if there are multiple ok_languages lines, only the last one is used.

	   Select the languages to allow from the list below:

	   af	- Afrikaans
	   am	- Amharic
	   ar	- Arabic
	   be	- Byelorussian

       inactive_languages xx [ yy zz ... ]	    (default: see below)
	   This option is used to specify which languages will not be considered when trying to guess the language.  For performance reasons,
	   supported languages that have fewer than about 5 million speakers are disabled by default.  Note that listing a language in
	   "ok_languages" automatically enables it for that user.

	   The default setting is:

	   bs cy eo et eu fy ga gd is la lt lv rm sa sco sl yi

	   That list is Bosnian, Welsh, Esperanto, Estonian, Basque, Frisian, Irish Gaelic, Scottish Gaelic, Icelandic, Latin, Lithuanian,
	   Latvian, Rhaeto-Romance, Sanskrit, Scots, Slovenian, and Yiddish.

       textcat_max_languages N (default: 5)
	   The maximum number of languages before the classification is considered unknown.

       textcat_optimal_ngrams N (default: 0)
	   If the number of ngrams is lower than this number then they will be removed.  This can be used to speed up the program for longer
	   inputs.  For shorter inputs, this should be set to 0.

       textcat_max_ngrams N (default: 400)
	   The maximum number of ngrams that should be compared with each of the languages models (note that each of those models is used
	   completely).

       textcat_acceptable_score N (default: 1.05)
	   Include any language that scores at least "textcat_acceptable_score" in the returned list of languages
