# language

The language to use when displaying the lookup results.

```
language?: string;
```

## Discussion

Tell the geocoder to return results in this language. For example, setting the option `{ language: 'fr-CA' }` tells the server to send results localized to Canadian French. If you set it, this option overrides the language you provide in the [`Geocoder`](/documentation/MapKitJS/Geocoder) constructor.
