    • Umbraco.Core.dll

    All samples in this document will require the following using statement:

    Constructors

    new Language(string isoCode)

    Constructor for creating a new Language object where the necessary parameter is a isoCode as a string.

    Properties

    .CultureInfo

    Gets the CultureInfo object for the language.

    var language = new Language("en-US");
return language.CultureInfo;

    .CultureName

    Gets or sets the culture name of the language.

    var language = new Language("en-US");
return language.CultureName;

    .FallbackLanguageId

    Gets or sets the identifier of a fallback language. The fallback language can be used in multi-lingual scenarios, to help define fallback strategies when a value does not exist for a requested language.

    var language = new Language("en-US");
return language.FallbackLanguageId;

    .IsDefault

    Gets or sets a value indicating whether the language is the default language.

    var language = new Language("en-US");
return language.IsDefault;

    .IsMandatory

    Gets or sets a value indicating whether the language is mandatory. When a language is mandatory, a multi-lingual document cannot be published without that language being published, and unpublishing that language unpublishes the entire document.

    var language = new Language("en-US");
return language.IsMandatory;

    .IsoCode

    Gets or sets the ISO code of the language.

    var language = new Language("en-US");
return language.IsoCode;
