Changing the Language in VSCode

VSCode is a popular text editor for development, and a useful tool for many tasks. It has a wide range of features, including the ability to change the language of the editor. This can be useful for multi-language projects, or when switching between different programming languages.

To change language in VSCode, open the Command Palette (Ctrl+Shift+P) and type “Change Language Mode”. This will bring up a list of available language modes. You can select the one you want and VSCode will automatically switch to that language.

If the language you want is not in the list, you can install a language extension. To do this, press the Extensions button in the left sidebar. Then, search for the language you want, and click Install. Once the extension is installed, it will appear in the list of available languages in the Command Palette.

Once the language is installed, you can use VSCode's IntelliSense feature to see code completion suggestions and other helpful information. You can also use the syntax highlighting feature to make your code easier to read. To change the theme of the syntax highlighting, open the Command Palette again and type “Color Theme”. You can then select the theme you want and it will be applied to the current language.

// Example of JavaScript code
function helloWorld() {
  console.log("Hello World!");
}

helloWorld();

VSCode is a powerful text editor, and the ability to change the language is just one of its many useful features. With a few clicks, you can switch between different languages and use the powerful features of VSCode to make your code easier to read and understand.
