# LanguageTypes Configuration Parameters

The `[LanguageTypes]` configuration section determines the language processing settings that QMS uses.

QMS retrieves most language settings from the IDOL Content component.

To use the `OutputEncoding` parameter in your query actions, you must set LanguageDirectory. Micro Focus generally recommends that you do not override other language settings in QMS, to ensure that your components use the same language model.

If you do need to change the other language settings in QMS, you can set any parameters in the QMS configuration file that are available in the IDOL Content component `[LanguageTypes]` configuration. For more information, refer to the IDOL Server Reference.
