# OutputEncoding

By default, the Content component converts the result documents to the encoding specified in the DefaultEncoding parameter in the Content configuration file.

To convert the result documents to another encoding before they return, add the `OutputEncoding` parameter to your action. You can specify only encodings that are compatible with the language of the query.

Click a language to display the available encodings. Alternatively, if you know the standard encoding, you can use the second table to find the Knowledge Discovery encoding name for this parameter. For each language, you can also set the `Encodings` parameters to `UTF8` or `UCS2`.
