Args:
* text (str): the string whose language is to be detected.
* threshold (float): threshold filters the returned labels by a threshold on probability.
A choice of 0.3 will return labels with at least 0.3 probability.
* only_search_languages (bool): if True, returns only supported SearXNG search languages.

probability.
Raises:
* ValueError: if text is not a string
:param bool only_search_languages: If ``True``, returns only supported
SearXNG search languages. see :py:obj:`searx.languages`
Returns:
* result (str, None): the detected language code or None. See below.

:returns:
The detected language code or ``None``. See below.
The language detection is done by using `a fork`_ of the fastText_ library (`python

By using ``only_search_languages=True`` the `language identification model`_
is harmonized with the SearXNG's language (locale) model. General
conditions of SearXNG's locale model are:
a. SearXNG's locale of a query is passed to the
:py:obj:`searx.locales.get_engine_locale` to get a language and/or region
code that is used by an engine.
b. Most of SearXNG's engines do not support all the languages from `language
identification model`_ and there is also a discrepancy in the ISO-639-3
(fastext) and ISO-639-2 (SearXNG)handling. Further more, in SearXNG the
locales like ``zh-TH`` (``zh-CN``) are mapped to ``zh_Hant``
(``zh_Hans``) while the `language identification model`_ reduce both to
``zh``.
