# GenericTransliteration

Set `GenericTransliteration` to `True` to apply transliteration (accent removal) to all languages and use a single generic transliteration scheme. By default, the Content component applies transliteration to Japanese, Chinese, Greek, Spanish, and Portuguese. Transliteration is optional for Western European, German, Scandinavian, and Russian.

Transliteration is the process of converting accented characters such as øù into equivalent non-accented characters. This option is useful in environments where accented keyboards are not available.

You can alter transliteration settings for individual languages by using the Transliteration configuration parameter in the individual language configuration sections.

For more information about the transliteration schemes that Content uses, refer to Knowledge Discovery Expert.
