Detect profanities

Detect

The detectProfanities service provides automated identification and flagging of profane or offensive language within a given text string. Operating as a standalone service, it allows for content moderation independently of the translation workflow.

The service analyzes the submitted text to detect sensitive content and returns a structured response including the detected language and content type. This endpoint is designed to help developers maintain platform safety by programmatically identifying potentially inappropriate strings before they are processed or displayed.
