# Configure the Content component for Language and to Encode

Before you index documents that contain different languages into the Content component, you must configure it to recognize the language and encoding of documents, so that it can deal with them appropriately.

The Content component can automatically identify the language and encoding of a document when it indexes it. You must have a Knowledge Discovery license that includes automatic language detection. To use this feature, set `AutoDetectLanguagesAtIndex` to `True` in the `[Server]` section of the Content component configuration file.

If your license does not include this functionality, you must specify the language and encoding of documents that you index into Content. Alternatively, you can configure a field process that allows Content to read the language of a document from one of its fields.

For more information, see Language Support.
