Settings for Email. Values fall back through three levels: document → SDK → built-in default. Writes target the document only when set on a document's settings, otherwise the SDK globally when set on SdkSettings.

**Tags:** `Format`

```python

from nutrient_sdk import EmailSettings

```

## Construction

`EmailSettings` is accessed through a [`Document`](/api/python/document/) instance for per-document overrides, or via [`SdkSettings`](/api/python/settings/document/sdk-settings/) for SDK-wide defaults.

```python

# Per-document override

with Document.open("input.pdf") as doc:
    settings = doc.settings.email_settings
    settings.some_field = new_value          # mutate fields directly

# SDK-wide default (applies to all documents)

SdkSettings.email_settings.some_field = new_value

```

Settings are configured by writing to fields on the returned object. The settings property itself cannot be reassigned — `doc.settings.email_settings = other_settings` is rejected.

## Properties

### language

```python

@property
def language(self) -> str

@language.setter
def language(self, value: str) -> None

```

The preferred language for conversion, as a BCP 47 language tag (e.g. "fr-FR", "en-US"). Controls date/time formatting and label translations in the converted document.

**Type:** `str`

**Default:** `"en-US"`
