1. A method for identifying a most likely source language of a snippet comprising: receiving an indication of the snippet; determining two or more possible source languages for the snippet; generating two or more translations of the snippet each having a specified translation source language, wherein at least one of the two or more translations of the snippet is generated having a first of the two or more possible source languages for the snippet set as the specified translation source language, and wherein at least another of the two or more translations of the snippet is generated having a second of the two or more possible source languages for the snippet other than the first of the two or more possible source languages for the snippet set as the specified translation source language; computing accuracy scores for at least two of the generated two or more translations of the snippet; producing a confidence factor for each of at least two selected possible source languages for the snippet, wherein the confidence factor for each selected possible source language is produced based on one or more of the computed accuracy scores that has a source language corresponding to the selected possible source language; and selecting, as the most likely source language, the possible source language for the snippet that is associated with a highest confidence factor.
