My suggestion, and I could be wrong, is you would have to try and find the word in each of the languages dictinaries you have and any word that came up in more than one language would require user intervention to decide what language it is. possibly at the end of parsing all the files you get a summery with all the words that are undetermend, and the sentince the word was found in and the languages it was found in, they the user just has to decide which one it is.
it's not a very optimized approach but least the way I see it, it should work.

• Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
• Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:

  <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>

• Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
• Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
