+ * The argument may be either a string containing the text to analyze,

+ *
+ * - 'text' The text to analyze.
+ *
+ * - 'isHTML' (optional) A boolean, indicating whether the text
+ * should be analyzed as HTML rather than plain text.
+ *
+ * - 'language' (optional) A string indicating the expected language.
+ * For text extracted from HTTP documents, this is expected to
+ * come from the Content-Language header.
+ *
+ * - 'tld' (optional) A string indicating the top-level domain of the
+ * document the text was extracted from.
+ *
+ * - 'encoding' (optional) A string describing the encoding of the
+ * document the string was extracted from. Note that, regardless
+ * of the value of this property, the 'text' property must be a
+ * UTF-16 JavaScript string.
+ *
+ * @returns {Promise<Object>}

+ * these fields:
+ * - 'language' (string with a language code)
+ * - 'confident' (boolean) Whether the detector is confident of the
+ * result.
+ * - 'languages' (array) An array of up to three elements, containing
+ * the most prevalent languages detected. It contains a
+ * 'languageCode' property, containing the ISO language code of
+ * the language, and a 'percent' property, describing the
+ * approximate percentage of the input which is in that language.
+ * For text of an unknown language, the result may contain an
+ * entry with the languge code 'un', indicating the percent of
