Newspaper can extract and detect languages seamlessly. If no language is specified, Newspaper will attempt to auto detect a language.

>>> from newspaper import Article
>>> url = 'http://www.bbc.co.uk/zhongwen/simp/chinese_news/2012/12/121210_hongkong_politics.shtml'

>>> a.download()
>>> a.parse()
>>> print(a.text[:150])
1210
>>> print(a.title)
If you are certain that an entire news source is in one language, go ahead and use the same api :)
