 ### Changed
 - Don't run newline fix on description fields
 - Install requests-cache in main run() function instead of check.agrovoc() function so we only incur the overhead once
+- Use py3langid instead of langid, see: [How to make language detection with langid.py faster](https://adrien.barbaresi.eu/blog/language-detection-langid-py-faster.html)
 
 ### Updated
 - Python dependencies, including Pandas 2.0.0 and [Arrow-backed dtypes](https://datapythonista.me/blog/pandas-20-and-the-arrow-revolution-part-i)
