# Language Types Configuration Parameters

The `[LanguageTypes]` configuration section lists the languages that you use and defines some generic parameters. You can also set the parameters listed under Language Configuration in the `[LanguageTypes]` section to set a default value for these parameters, which you can then override for individual languages.

For example:

    [LanguageTypes]
    DefaultLanguageType=englishASCII
