### Description

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

### Syntax

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

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

### Examples

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

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

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

### Remarks

The property is automatically set, if the name of the hyphenation dictionary file contains language specific information (e.g. "hyph\_en.dic" for English or "hyph\_de\_CH.dic" for German (Switzerland)). Otherwise, the property returns null.
