To detect the dominant language of input text

The following detect-dominant-language analyzes the input text and identifies the dominant language. The pre-trained model's confidence score is also output.

aws comprehend detect-dominant-language \
    --text "It is a beautiful day in Seattle."

Output:

{
    "Languages": [
        {
            "LanguageCode": "en",
            "Score": 0.9877256155014038
        }
    ]
}
