Ah, I think the version that includes that hasn't been gemified yet - the latest version on rubygems.org is older than the head version here. You can specify this repo in your Gemfile if you want to resolve this immediately, however.

Not sure if I'm having the same or a different issue - I did install from the GitHub repo and can't execute any of the examples using String. require 'whatlanguage' returns true and WhatLanguage.new(:all) returns an object, but String.language simply doesn't exist...?

Steps to reproduce

require 'whatlanguage'
# => true

"".language
# NoMethodError: undefined method `language' for "":String

require 'whatlanguage/string'
# => true

"".language
# => nil

Experimented a bit on Windows7 , 2.2.4p230, and after adding as suggested earlier gem 'whatlanguage', github: 'peterc/whatlanguage' to Gemfile (gets this one installed) and

require 'whatlanguage/string' to dsl.rb

and finally the language method is found.
