class Linguistic MBS MacCocoa Plugin 17.3 ✅ Yes ❌ No ❌ No ✅ Yes All
A description of the linguistic content of a piece of text typically used for spelling and grammar checking.

An NSOrthography instance describes:

  • Which scripts the text contains.
  • A dominant language and possibly other languages for each of these scripts.
  • A dominant script and language for the text as a whole.

Scripts are uniformly described by standard four-letter tags (Latn, Grek, Cyrl, etc.) with the supertags Jpan and Kore typically used for Japanese and Korean text, Hans and Hant for Chinese text; the tag Zyyy is used if a specific script cannot be identified. See Internationalization and Localization Guide for more information on internationalization.

Languages are uniformly described by BCP-47 tags , preferably in canonical form; the tag und is used if a specific language cannot be determined.
