It also picked up Persian while transliterated. That's impressive to me, because Persian does not have a standard method of transliteration.

Transliterated Russian seems to get ID'd correctly, but only sometimes. (Anything with "zdrastvuite" in it, for example, works fine. But other simple Russian 101 sentences --- e.g. "U menya est odin karandash" meaning "I have a pencil" --- get ID'd as French. Unless of course I'm spelling it wrong.).

But I haven't seen it correctly ID transliterated Chinese or Korean yet.
