    :param str text: The string whose language is to be detected.

    :param float threshold: Threshold filters the returned labels by a threshold
        on probability.  A choice of 0.3 will return labels with at least 0.3
        probability.

    The language detection is done by using `a fork`_ of the fastText_ library
    (`python fasttext`_). fastText_ distributes the `language identification
    model`_, for reference:

    - `FastText.zip: Compressing text classification models`_
    - `Bag of Tricks for Efficient Text Classification`_

    The `language identification model`_ support the language codes
    (ISO-639-3)::

    By using ``only_search_languages=True`` the `language identification model`_
    is harmonized with the SearXNG's language (locale) model.  General
    conditions of SearXNG's locale model are:

    a. SearXNG's locale of a query is passed to the
       :py:obj:`searx.locales.get_engine_locale` to get a language and/or region
       code that is used by an engine.

    b. Most of SearXNG's engines do not support all the languages from `language
       identification model`_ and there is also a discrepancy in the ISO-639-3
       (fasttext) and ISO-639-2 (SearXNG)handling.  Further more, in SearXNG the
       locales like ``zh-TH`` (``zh-CN``) are mapped to ``zh_Hant``
       (``zh_Hans``) while the `language identification model`_ reduce both to
       ``zh``.
