LanguageSettings Object

Returns information about the language settings in a Microsoft Office application.

Using the LanguageSettings Object

Use Application.LanguageSettings.LanguageID(MsoAppLanguageID ), where MsoAppLanguageID is a constant used to return locale identifier (LCID) information to the specified application.

The following example returns the install language, user interface language, and Help language LCIDs in a message box.

MsgBox "The following locale IDs are registered " & _
    "for this application: Install Language - " & _
    Application.LanguageSettings.LanguageID(msoLanguageIDInstall) & _
    " User Interface Language - " & _
    Application.LanguageSettings.LanguageID(msoLanguageIDUI) & _
    " Help Language - " & _
    Application.LanguageSettings.LanguageID(msoLanguageIDHelp)
		

Use Application.LanguageSettings.LanguagePreferredForEditing to determine which LCIDs are registered as preferred editing languages for the application, as in the following example.

If Application.LanguageSettings. _
    LanguagePreferredForEditing(msoLanguageIDEnglishUS) Then
    MsgBox "U.S. English is one of the chosen editing languagess."
End If
