# Language Classifier The Language Classifier classifies your data based on what language it is. ## Configuration This classifier shares all of the [common classifier configuration options](/about/agents/classifiers.md#common-configuration), with the addition of the following setting: ### Model type The model type you select is used for classification. We support two classifiers: [fastText](https://fasttext.cc/) and Google Translate. In general, fastText uses less resources, but performs worse with shorter texts, while Google Translate uses more resources, but performs better with shorter texts. For this reason, we also provide the option to set a cutoff number of words, where Google Translate is used below the cutoff, and fastText is used above the cutoff. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
