language
set [the] language to resourceName
where resourceName is a language supported by HyperCard.
The language property returns or sets the language in which HyperCard displays scripts. The default setting is English, and it’s always available.
To use other languages, a script translator resource must exist in the current stack, any stack later in the message-passing order, or in HyperCard itself.
Contrast this property with the scriptingLanguage of object, which describes an object's scripting system.
