Highlight.js Vue Plugin systematically ignores language value passed to it

Whether I call the plugin directly from my template section or mount it programmatically and passing to it a language prop value, the language I specify always ends up being ignored by the plugin who instead chooses himself a language.

From template section:

``

From script section (programmatically):

```

// some code here...

nextTick(() => {
mount(HighlightPlugin.component, {
element: document.querySelector('.myElement'),
props: {
language: 'javascript',
code: codeSnippet
}
})
})

```

Here's how the plugin is imported in my main.js:

```
import 'highlight.js/styles/github-dark-dimmed.css'
import 'highlight.js/lib/common'
import hljsVuePlugin from '@highlightjs/vue-plugin'
app.use(hljsVuePlugin)

app.mount('#app')
```
