# Language Types Configuration Parameters

The `[LanguageTypes]` configuration section lists the languages that you use and defines some generic parameters.

NOTE: A stand-alone Category component retrieves the individual language configuration settings from the Content component configured as the `[DataDRE]`.

For example:

    [LanguageTypes]
    DefaultLanguageType=englishASCII
    DefaultEncoding=UTF8
    LanguageDirectory=C:\IDOLserver\IDOL\langfiles
