### Description

Gets or sets the [dictionary's](https://docs.textcontrol.com/tx-spell-dotnet-winforms/reference/txtextcontrol-proofing/dictionary/llms-full.txt) language.

### Syntax

```csharp
public CultureInfo Language { get; set; }
```

```vbnet
Public Property Language As CultureInfo
```

### Examples

The following example uses `Dictionary.Language` to configure language as part of the dictionary workflow. The configured value is checked before the workflow continues.

```csharp
dictionary.Language = System.Globalization.CultureInfo.GetCultureInfo("en-US");
if (dictionary.Language != null)
{
    Console.WriteLine("Dictionary: Language is available.");
}
```

```vbnet
dictionary.Language = System.Globalization.CultureInfo.GetCultureInfo("en-US")
If dictionary.Language IsNot Nothing Then
    Console.WriteLine("Dictionary: Language is available.")
End If
```

### Remarks

The property is automatically set, if the name of the dictionary file contains language specific information (e.g. "en\_medical.txd" for English or "de\_CH\_frami.dic" for German (Switzerland)). Otherwise, the property returns null.
