lang Attribute
.jpg) |
Specifies the language to which the prompt refers.
<prompt lang="lang">
Remarks
The value of the lang attribute follows the definition found in the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) RFC1766 specification. The RFC1766 specification allows for a rich suite of languages, although not all are supported by the Microsoft Speech Application SDK. The tags are case insensitive. The language tag is a string composed of one or more parts. The first part is a two-character designation of the basic language. For example, "en" is for English; "no", Norwegian; "fr", French; "de", German. The second part is separated by a hyphen and designates the variation or dialect of the language. "en-US" is for United States English, "en-cockney" is for Cockney English.
- If the lang attribute is unspecified for the prompt element, a higher level element in the page propagates the lang value down to prompt element.
- If the lang attribute is specified in multiple places, the language ID follows an order of precedence from the lowest scope to the highest scope.
- If lang is completely unspecified in any scope, a platform-specific value is used.
Example
The following code demonstrates the use of the lang attribute
