Is there a document editor that helps formatting documents like API documents or specifications?
I prefer not to use Word but something that is more productive.
LaTeX is particularly well-suited to technical documents, I find.
Depending on the language you use, specially for API documentations, I'd use XML comments and then use a program like SandCastle and SHFB.

Is there a service/library (free or paid) that takes a piece of text and return the language of it?
I need to go over a million blog posts and determine their languages.
I think this is the best out there!
https://code.google.com/p/language-detection/
I've heard good things about langid.py.
Features from the README:
Fast
Pre-trained over a large number of languages (currently 97)
Not sensitive to domain-specific features (e.g. HTML/XML markup)
Single .py file with minimal dependencies
Deployable as a web service

Is there a cheatsheet that compares the usage of Markdown with Restructure? With this, I could learn rst faster if I already knew Markdown. I tried google for it but haven't found one..
A small comparsion from a lot lightweight markup language syntaxs can be found on Wikipedia.
There is also a Gist document about the common markup between the two languages.
You can use Pandoc to convert your existing Markdown to reST or the other way around.
There are a lot of different Markdown dialects, so it may be difficult to compare the syntax with reST.

I am looking for a language translator API for my project. I don't want to use the Google Translate API.
Can anyone suggest another? An open source translator would be better.
you can use Bing (Microsoft) machine translation engine.But it is almost the same as translate.google.com Or, you can make your own english-nepali machine tanslation system (engines), e.g.use this:
http://www.statmt.org/moses/
But, it will costs yo a lot of effort and time (question is whether it is worth of it).
Here is some discussion what options do you have if looking for some language translator for not-so-common language:

(hopefully you will be able to display it)

http://www.webopedia.com/ is what I'm looking for, but it doesn't offer an API. Are there similar services which offer APIs?
DuckDuckGo has an open API which is quite flexible: take a look at https://duckduckgo.com/api. Using their "define" syntax, it's possible to get back word definitions. For example,
http://api.duckduckgo.com/?q=define+ostensibly&format=json&pretty=1
...would get you back a definition for "ostensibly" in JSON format.
The WordNik API (http://developer.wordnik.com/) is also pretty good for word definitions.

I often hack out some Thor, Rake, Bash or even PHP commandline tools. And I want to document the command-line-arguments and variations in a consistent way.
Is there an official, or recommended standard on this documentation?
Like when an option is optional[--foo=bar], or when an option can be one n-values ("yes|no"), etceteras.
I'd rather not come up with my own standard, when there is an official (POSIX?) standard or guide that already lists the do's and don't for documenting tools and applications on CLI's.
I'm not sure what output format you have in mind, but why not use the man-page style? It seems a nice fit for commandline tools.
