Yup.  Basically: you can't do it *at all* without knowing the language
that the text is in, and you can't do it even with the language
information, for some languages, without a lot of complicated rules.
English has it pretty easy here.  It's a ton of effort and
complication for something that won't even work for most content
(since most content isn't language-tagged), and so not really worth
pursuing.
