Description In this paper we present a Bayesian approach to language identification of queries sent to an information retrieval system. The aim of the work is to identify both the language of a query as a whole and the language of particular words in the query. The method is evaluated on a test set of manually labelled queries. The evaluation shows that our method performs better than the Google Language Detect API and an implementation of the n-gram method on our testing set of queries.
