So, OK Google Provides you a Tool to Translate a text from certain language into another.

But what if you don;t even know what language the Original Text is in.

Take a Scenario,

You received a Comment on your Blog or saw a Wall Post/Status Message of a Friend in Facebook. The Text is in a language you don;t understand, forget that, you can’t even make out which language the text is written in.

What do you do then?

Here is the Answer, Use Google’s Own Language Detection Tool to detect the Language based on words.

Just enter few of the Words from the Text and enter it into the Text Box in the above Tool, then Press Detect.

You will see the detected Language which is an approximation with a reliability factor attached with it.

Its not 100% reliabele, but can still help.
