Hello everyone

I have a text file with lines of text in English, but unfortunately some of the lines are in Afrikaans. I want to either remove the Afrikaans lines or create a list of all the Afrikaans lines (either option is good for me). Chat GPT claims to be able to do this, but as usual, it simply creates a list of lines that looks plausible, until you double-check it and discover that the bot had just made up a list that looks highly similar to the topic of the list of input lines.

Is there an AI (or technological) solution to do this?

Thanks
Samuel

Remove by language Feb 27

Probably you can try to remove by language: select all, set 'Detect language automatically' in the Proofing Language settings and then replace all Afrikaans text with a blank 'Replace with' field.
