# Determine the Languages that are Enabled

You can determine the languages that the IDOL Content component can process by looking at the IDOL Content component configuration file.

To check which languages are enabled in Content

1. Open the IDOL Content component configuration file in a text editor.

2. Find the `[LanguageTypes]` section.

   This section lists the languages that Content can process. For example:

       [LanguageTypes]
       DefaultLanguageType=englishUTF8
       DefaultEncoding=UTF8
       LanguageDirectory=C:\IDOLServer\IDOL\langfiles
       0=Afrikaans
       1=Albanian
       2=Arabic
       3=Armenian
       4=Azeri
       5=Basque
       6=general

   - The `DefaultLanguageType` parameter specifies the language type to apply when:

     - Content cannot read the language type nor encoding of a document from a specified field.

     - the action does not include a `LanguageType` parameter.

     - automatic language detection is not enabled.

   - The `general` language category is for documents whose encoding is identified, but whose language is not.

   - The `LanguageDirectory` parameter specifies the directory that contains resource files (such as stop word lists) that Content uses to process languages.

TIP: You can also view information on licensed and configured languages and encodings on the Languages tab on the Status page in IDOL Admin. For more information, refer to the IDOL Admin User Guide.
