The lang read-only property of the Notification interface indicates the text direction of the notification, as specified in the lang option of the Notification() constructor.

The language itself is specified using a DOMString representing a BCP 47 language tag. See the Sitepoint ISO 2 letter language codes page for a simple reference.

Value

var options = {
  body: 'Do you like my body?',
  lang: 'en-US'
}

var n = new Notification('Test notification',options);
