Language Object (ILanguage Interface)
This object represents a recognition language. This object contains properties reflecting language attributes, such as its external name, components and category. The recognition languages can be set for the whole project using the IProject::LanguageDatabase property, or for particular Document Definition (IDocumentDefinition::DefaultLanguage) or its text block (ITextRecognitionParams::Language).
A language may be either simple (e.g. English, Russian) or compound (composed of several simple languages). See the Type property. The Language object exposes methods which cast it to a type-specific interface and thereby provide access to the extended attributes of a language of specific type.
Properties
| Name | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| DatatypeCategory | DatatypeCategoryEnum, read-only | Specifies the category of data for which the language is designed. |
| ExternalName | String | Specifies the external name of the language. This name can be localized and used in user interface. |
| InternalName | String, read-only | Stores the internal name of the language. It is this name that should be passed to the IPredefinedLanguages::FindLanguage method. |
| LanguageCategory | LanguageCategoryEnum, read-only | Indicates the category to which the recognition language belongs. You may use this property to organize languages in your user interface. |
| LetterSet | String, read-only | Stores the letter set of the recognition language. |
| Type | LanguageTypeEnum, read-only | Specifies the type of the recognition language. Recognition language can be simple (e.g. English, Russian), or be composed of several simple languages. |
Methods
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| AsSimpleLanguage | Returns the language as the SimpleLanguage object. If the language is not a simple language, NULL is returned. |
| AsGroupLanguage | Returns the language as the GroupLanguage object. If the language is not a language composed of several simple languages, NULL is returned. |
| CopyFrom | Initializes properties of the current object with values of similar properties of another object. |
