# DetectedLanguage Object (IDetectedLanguage Interface)

This object represents a single language from the collection of languages detected in the recognized document or on the recognized page. This collection is only available after recognition with the automatic language detection on (see the [IRecognizerParams::LanguageDetectionMode](/fine-reader/engine/api-reference/parameter-objects/preprocessing-analysis-recognition-and-synthesis-parameters/recognizerparams#languagedetectionmode) property for details).
