Can a LanguageDetector be called from several threads in parallel ?

[rgeronimi]

lingua-py's documentation doesn't state if a LanguageDetector object can be called in parallel from several python threads (for distinct pieces of text of course).

In Python's ecosystem this is far from a guaranteed behavior unfortunately.

Is it the case ? Or should we use a threading.Lock to queue the calls to the same LanguageDetector?

Yes, both Rust and pure Python implementations are thread-safe. They use thread-safe data structures internally, so you can use a single LanguageDetector instance from multiple threads.

If you encounter any problems, then please open an issue with code to reproduce.

Thanks this is great!
