Controls.currentAudioLanguage

[The feature associated with this page, Windows Media Player SDK, is a legacy feature. It has been superseded by MediaPlayer. MediaPlayer has been optimized for Windows 10 and Windows 11. Microsoft strongly recommends that new code use MediaPlayer instead of Windows Media Player SDK, when possible. Microsoft suggests that existing code that uses the legacy APIs be rewritten to use the new APIs if possible.]

The currentAudioLanguage property specifies or retrieves the locale identifier (LCID) of the audio language for playback.

player.controls.currentAudioLanguage
      

Possible Values

This property is a read/write Number (long).

Remarks

An LCID uniquely identifies a particular language dialect, called a locale.

For Windows Media-based content, properties and methods related to language selection only support a single output.

When working with DVD content, specifying an LCID will cause the first available audio track having the specified language ID to be selected.

Windows Media Player 10 Mobile: This property only accepts or returns the language-neutral LCID (0).

Requirements

Requirement Value
Version
Windows Media Player 9 Series or later.
