Joseph Vychtrle commented on TIKA-546:
--------------------------------------

Guys is anybody going to commit the patch ? Or what is the resolution for generating language profiles via NGramProfile and adding the ngram file on the classpath + overriding properties ? Is this all that needs to be done to add a language profile? I'd commit that patch to my local copy then.

> Since TIKA-490 it is supposed to be easy adding new language profiles to TIKA. However, currently the process involves using Nutch's NGramProfile tool and editing the output.
> We should port Nutch's profile builder to Tika and make it part of tika-app.jar:
> # See http://wiki.apache.org/nutch/LanguageIdentifier
> # java -jar tika-app.jar --create-profile [--gramsizes=<n>,<n>,...] [--maxlines=<max>] <profile-name> <filename> <encoding>
> Using --gramsizes and --maxlines, we could support both Tika-style profiles and Nutch-style profiles and thus deprecate the Nutch tool. Defaults should be --gramsizes=3 --maxlines=1000
