As rifter said, I was not referring to any specific article. It was a general question. The reason I thought to ask however, was the cooled mouse article. When I saw it appear on slashdot I decided to inquire once again about my language question. This article is merely a specific and unnecessary example which reminded me of my general question.
I came across this article about a month ago when it was Finnish only. While then fish can't translate Finnish, some other tools can, like InterTran. However, there was no way of knowing what language it was written in except for the.fi TLD of the author's email. This is obviously not a 100% accurate way to determine the language and many pages don't list any domains to guess from. So, I proceeded to post an Ask Slashdot: asking if there are any tools that will indentify the language of a URL or any translators that will autodetermine the input language you are translating from. Of course, my post got rejected, or I wouln't be talking about it now.
I ask now once again... Are there any tools online available to determine the language a page is written in?? If you know, share the wealth. Thanks.
If Echelon is everything people are afraid it is, shouldn't this have been picked up. These attacks obviously were not forseen, so I can not belive that Echelon is doing its job if it does exist.

HTTHost I Haven't tried it, but I just saw it last night and it claims to do exactly what you are looking for. Good luck with it.
