I just developed a simple asp.net mvc application project for English only. I want to block user’s any input for a language other than English. Is it possible to know whether user inputs other languages when they write something on textbox or editor in order to give a popup message?
You could limit the input box to latin characters, but there’s no automatic way to see if the user entered something in say English, Finnish or Norwegian. They all mostly use a-z. Any character outside of a-z could give you an indication, but certain accents needs to be allowed in English as well, so it’s not 100%.
Google Translate exposes a javascript API to detect the language of text.
