--- Comment #3 from Caolán McNamara <caolanm at redhat.com> ---
I imagine using libexttextcat would just introduce a pile of "my language was
guessed wrong" bugs. Especially for short sequences of text which won't be long
enough for the statistical efforts of libexttextcat to guess it right.

Unicode char range folds this bunch of languages
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arabic_script#Languages_currently_written_with_the_Arabic_alphabet
to Arabic, while Hebrew script munges Yiddish and Hebrew together, which is
maybe acceptable loss and probably happens on Windows already.

There are some hints in bug 108151 about some available fields in the gtk
integration with the IBUS IM that might be of some use to pick an acceptable
value to set for the language.
