title: Get language from UTF8
body: <p>I have several utf8 strings and need to find out the language based on the characters used. It is not important to distuingish between language using the latin alphabet like German, Dutch and English. The language that occur are arabic, korean, chinese, japanese, i.e. language with a definite character set. The strings itself are names in most cases and it can be assumed that the first character is enough for recognition.</p>
