a. Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.dll

namespace ManagedMetadataClient
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            // ClienContext - Get the context for the SharePoint Site 
            // SharePoint site URL - http://c4968397007/
            ClientContext clientContext = new ClientContext("http://c4968397007/");
 
            // Get the TaxonomySession
            TaxonomySession taxonomySession = TaxonomySession.GetTaxonomySession(clientContext);
 
            // Get the term store by name
            TermStore termStore = taxonomySession.TermStores.GetByName("MMS");
 
            // Add the language
            termStore.AddLanguage(1036);
 
            // Commit all the changes
            termStore.CommitAll();
 
            // Execute the query to the server
            clientContext.ExecuteQuery();
        }
    }
}
