# DefaultEncoding

The default encoding to use for the OutputEncoding action parameter. The OutputEncoding parameter specifies the encoding to convert the output from actions to before returning the output.

If you do not set `DefaultEncoding` or the OutputEncoding action parameter, Content Component uses the encoding specified in the LanguageType parameter sent with the query. If the LanguageType parameter is not sent with the query, it uses the encoding in the DefaultLanguageType configuration parameter.

Type: | String
Default: |
Required: | No
Configuration Section: | LanguageTypes
