# DESCRIPTION

The *language* module displays the currently selected language.

# CONFIGURATION

Addressed by *hyprland/language*

*format*: ++
	typeof: string ++
	default: {} ++
	The format, how information should be displayed.

*format-<lang>* ++
	typeof: string++
	Provide an alternative name to display per language where <lang> is the language of your choosing. Can be passed multiple times with multiple languages as shown by the example below.

*format-<lang>-<variant>* ++
	typeof: string ++
	Like *format-<lang>* but also matches the layout variant, taking precedence over *format-<lang>* when both the language and variant match.

*keyboard-name*: ++
	typeof: string ++
	Specifies which keyboard to use from hyprctl devices output. Using the option that begins with "at-translated-set..." is recommended.

*menu*: ++
	typeof: string ++
	Action that popups the menu.

*menu-file*: ++
	typeof: string ++
	Location of the menu descriptor file. There need to be an element of type
	GtkMenu with id *menu*

	typeof: array ++
	The actions corresponding to the buttons of the menu.

*tooltip*: ++
	typeof: boolean ++
	default: true ++

*tooltip-format*: ++
	typeof: string ++
	default: {long} ++
	Specifies the format of the tooltip when it is enabled. It follows the same format replacement rules as the *format* key.

*tooltip-format-<lang>*: ++
	typeof: string ++
	Allows specifying a different tooltip format for each language. The *<lang>* should be replaced with the language code. This can be used to provide a custom tooltip for each language.

*tooltip-format-<lang>-<variant>*: ++
	typeof: string ++
	Like *tooltip-format-<lang>* but also matches the layout variant, taking precedence over *tooltip-format-<lang>* when both the language and variant match.
