+The Compact Language Detection library can detect the language of UTF8-encoded
+text. CLD2 supports over 160 languages and can parse both plain text and HTML.
+
+The Slackware script builds two shared libraries, libcld2 and libcld2_full. The
+libcld2 library can recognise the core 83 languages while the libcld2_full
+library has support for the entire set of 160+ language tables.
+
+The script also builds a commandline tool, cld2, which is compiled against the
+libcld2_full library.
