An example embodiment may involve a software application executable on computing devices of a remote network management platform containing a computational instance associated with a managed network. A text string may be received, and characters of the string may be categorized among a plurality of symbol script families. A respective likelihood of the string corresponding to each family may be determined, and a respective probability of the string being in each language of each given family may also be determined. The respective probabilities for the languages of each given family may be weighted by the likelihoods of the given family, and then weighted sums of the probabilities for each language may be computed. The maximum of the weighted sums may correspond to the language of the text string. The respective probabilities may be determined according to hybrid N-gram and word language models for each family.
