# xml:lang Handling in XAML
|
|
|
|
The `xml:lang` attribute is an XML-defined attribute that declares the language and culture information for an element in XML. This same meaning of the attribute persists in XAML; however, some additional considerations apply.
|
|
|
|
## XAML Attribute Usage
|
|
|
|
```xaml
|
|
<object xml:lang="rfc3066lang" />
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## XAML Values
|
|
|
|
| Value | Description |
|
|
|-------|-------------|
|
|
|*rfc3066lang*|A string that is derived from the [RFC 3066](https://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc3066.txt) standard and identifies either a language or a language-region. When it is the latter, the language and region are separated by a single hyphen. See <xref:System.Windows.Markup.XmlLanguage> for more information about the values and format.|
|
|
|
|
## Remarks
|
|
|
|
The definition for the `xml:lang` attribute in [!INCLUDE[TLA2#tla_xaml](../includes/tla2sharptla-xaml-md.md)] is derived from `xml:lang` as defined as a "special attribute" by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) for XML. Language and culture information is potentially processed in different ways by elements, depending on their implementations; however, there is no default [!INCLUDE[TLA2#tla_xaml](../includes/tla2sharptla-xaml-md.md)] processing of the `xml:lang` attribute.
|
|
|
|
The default value of the `xml:lang` attribute is an empty string at the attribute level.
|
|
|
|
The `xml:lang` attribute effects and the value of the attribute are generally perpetuated to child elements, when interpreted by systems that act on `xml:lang` values.
|
|
|
|
When interpreted by XAML writers of .NET XAML Services, an `xml:lang` value can create <xref:System.Windows.Markup.XmlLanguage> or <xref:System.Globalization.CultureInfo> objects in the underlying object representation; however, that behavior depends on whether the value specified for `xml:lang` is a valid construction for those classes.
|
|
|
|
Frameworks can create associations between framework-defined properties and the meaning of `xml:lang` in XML by applying <xref:System.Windows.Markup.XmlLangPropertyAttribute> to the property.
|
|
|
|
## WPF Usage Nodes
|
|
|
|
For elements that are derived classes of <xref:System.Windows.FrameworkElement> or <xref:System.Windows.FrameworkContentElement>, you can use the equivalent <xref:System.Windows.FrameworkElement.Language%2A> dependency property instead of the `xml:lang` attribute. By default, the <xref:System.Windows.FrameworkElement.Language%2A> property uses "en-US" if it is not otherwise set, either through the property or through processing the `xml:lang` attribute.
