Selection.LanguageDetected (Word)

Returns or sets a Boolean that specifies whether Microsoft Word has detected the language of the selected text.

Check the LanguageID property for the results of any previous language detection. The LanguageDetected property is set to True when the DetectLanguage method is called. To reevaluate the language of the specified text, you must first set the LanguageDetected property to False.
