Remarks

The Language element must contain an expression that evaluates to a language code as defined in the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) RFC1766 specification. The language code is a string composed of one or more parts. The first part is a two-character designation of the basic language. For example, "en" for English or "fr" for French. The second part is separated by a hyphen and designates the variation or dialect of the language. For example, "en-us" represents United States English.

Language applies only to chart and textbox report items.
