TextLanguage Object (ITextLanguage Interface)
This object represents the language of recognition for a text. The text language in general case is a set of base languages or languages of a single word. Access to the collection of base languages of a text is provided through the BaseLanguages property. Besides, this object exposes methods for accessing different text language attributes such as its internal name, groups of letter sets, etc.
The TextLanguage object is a persistent object. This means that the object's current state can be written to persistent storage: an area in the global memory or a disk file. Later, the object can be re-created by reading the object's state from persistent storage. The following methods provide persistence of the object: SaveToFile, LoadFromFile, SaveToMemory, and LoadFromMemory.
Properties
| Name | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Application | Engine, read-only | Returns the Engine object. |
| Main attributes | ||
| InternalName | BSTR |
Stores the internal name of the text language. As the internal name may be used to identify the language, it is better be unique. After a new object of the TextLanguage type is created, this property stores empty string. You may assign it some unique value to identify your text language among others. By default, this property contains an empty string. |
| LetterSet | BSTR | Sets additional letter sets for the text language. |
| RecognitionSet | BSTR, read-only | Returns the full letter set used for recognition with this TextLanguage, combining all letter sets of its base languages and additional letter sets. |
| BaseLanguages | BaseLanguages, read-only | Returns a reference to the collection of base languages of the current text language. This collection always exists though contains no elements by default. |
| ProhibitingDictionaries | DictionaryDescriptions, read-only | Returns a reference to the collection of prohibiting dictionaries. |
| Additional attributes | ||
| ImpliedTextCategory | TextCategoryEnum |

| UserProperty | VARIANT | Allows you to associate any user-defined information with an object of the TextLanguage type. |
