# language

A language identifier that determines the language for the service results text.

## Declaration

```data
language?: string;
```

## Discussion

Discussion If you set a language ID, the service request returns content in the specified language, if available, such as, fr-CA or en-GB. If you don’t provide a language ID, the service object uses the language ID the system provides to the init(options) call, or the browser’s default language.
