# Language Configuration

For each language that you use, create a `[MyLanguage]` section, using the name of the language listed below. In each section, configure the parameters that determine how to handle the language.

The individual language configuration parameters override any values that you set for these parameters in the `[LanguageTypes]` section. If you do not specify a parameter for the individual language, the Content component uses the value in the `[LanguageTypes]` section, or the internal default.

NOTE: If you have enabled automatic language detection, you can configure a General language to apply to any documents that are not in a specific language. Content assigns languages to the General language if it identifies the encoding but not the language. Add the appropriate encodings to the `[General]` configuration section.

If the document encoding is not configured, the document is placed into the DefaultLanguageType.

For example:

    [english]
    Encodings=ASCII:englishASCII,UTF8:englishUTF8
    Stoplist=english.dat
    IndexNumbers=1

    [afrikaans]
    Encodings=ASCII:afrikaansASCII,UTF8:afrikaansUTF8
    IndexNumbers=1

    [albanian]
    Encodings=ASCII:albanianASCII,UTF8:albanianUTF8
    IndexNumbers=1

    [arabic]
    Encodings=ARABIC_ISO:arabicARABIC_ISO,ARABIC:arabicARABIC,UTF8:arabicUTF8
    IndexNumbers=1

    [chinese]
    Encodings=CHINESESIMPLIFIED:chineseCHINESESIMPLIFIED,CHINESETRADITIONAL:chineseCHINESETRADITIONAL,UTF8:chineseUTF8
