You can also check google's language API: I'm writing a blog entry on this,
hope to post tomorrow:

http://code.google.com/apis/ajaxlanguage/documentation/reference.html

Here a snippet of it working: (Using Json Simple to decode:
http://code.google.com/p/json-simple/)

try {
String s = URLEncoder.encode("Você sabe como implementar um
serviço", "UTF-8");
URL url = new URL("
http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/services/language/detect?v=1.0&q="+s);
BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(new
InputStreamReader(url.openStream()));
String str;
StringBuilder buffer = new StringBuilder();
while ((str = in.readLine()) != null) {
buffer.append(str);
}
in.close();
JSONObject obj =
(JSONObject)JSONValue.parse(buffer.toString()).get("responseData");
System.out.println(obj.get("language"));

} catch (UnsupportedEncodingException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (MalformedURLException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (IOException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
}

The intuitive mind is a sacred gift and the
rational mind is a faithful servant. We have

has forgotten the gift.
