# language

A language ID that determines the language for the search results text.

```
language?: string;
```

## Discussion

If you set a language ID, the search returns addresses in the selected language, if available, such as, `fr-CA` or `en-GB`. If you don’t provide a language ID, the search object uses the language ID the system provides to the [`init(options)`](/documentation/MapKitJS/mapkit/init) call.
