If you do not set this language ID for the character, the character's language ID will be the current system language ID.
This setting also determines the language for TTS output, word balloon text, the commands in the character's pop-up menu, and speech recognition engine. To determine if there is a compatible speech recognition engine available for the character's language, use IAgentCharacterEx::GetSRModeID or IAgentCharacterEx::GetTTSModeID.
This property applies only to your client application's use of the character; the setting does not affect other clients of the character or other characters of your client application.
Note If the language ID is set to a language that supports bidirectional text (such as Arabic or Hebrew), but the system running your application does not have bidirectional support installed, text will appear in the word balloon in logical rather than display order.
