    No real problem here… the string in $title isn’t in any of the arrays you are testing with, even in lower case.

    Try testing every word in each language tab against the string instead.

    $english = Array( 'Name', 'Vacation' );
    $languages = array('english'=>$english,
                       'france'=>$france,
                       'spanish'=>$spanish,
                       'chinese'=>$chinese,
                       'japenese'=>$japenese);
    
    while($line = mysql_fetch_assoc($result)) {
        $title = $line['title'];
        //$lower_title = strtolower($title); stristr() instead.
    
        $language_found = false;
    
        foreach($languages as $language_name=>$language) {
            idx = 0;
            while(($language_found === false) && idx < count($language)) {
                $word = $language[$idx];
                if(stristr($title, $word) !== false) {
                    $language_found = $language_name;
                }
                $idx++;
            }
        }
    
        // got language name or false...
    }
    

    You could also breaking the string using explode of course and testing each word in the created array for each language.
