# Define Language Types

To run HPE IDOL Server in multiple languages, specify the language types that you want HPE IDOL Server to process. A language type is a combination of the language and encoding.

Note: You must specify languages and language types before you index data into HPE IDOL Server.

To specify language types

1. Open the HPE IDOL Server configuration file in a text editor.

2. Find the `[LanguageTypes]` section and list the languages that you want HPE IDOL Server to process. You must use UTF-8 characters when specifying a language.

   For example:

       [LanguageTypes]
       0=English
       1=Afrikaans
       2=Albanian
       3=Arabic
       4=Armenian
       5=Azeri

3. In the `[LanguageTypes]` section, set any configuration parameters that you want to apply to all languages. For details of the configuration parameters you can use, refer to the IDOL Server Reference.

   Note: As well as the general language configuration parameters, you can set any of the individual language configuration parameters in the `[LanguageTypes]` section. The value in this section sets the default value for all languages, which you can override in the individual language configuration sections.

   For example:

       [LanguageTypes]
       DefaultLanguageType=englishUTF8
       DefaultEncoding=UTF8
       LanguageDirectory=C:\IDOLserver\IDOL\langfiles
       GenericTransliteration=True
       StopWordIndex=1
       ProperNames=3
       TangibleCharacters=!?

4. For each language that you use, create a section using the name of the language.

   In this section, specify appropriate settings that determine how HPE IDOL Server handles this language. For details on the configuration parameters you can use, refer to the HPE IDOL Server Reference.

5. For each section, add the `Encodings` parameter and define the encodings and corresponding language types used by the language.

   For example:

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

       [afrikaans]
       Encodings=UTF8:afrikaansUTF8
       IndexNumbers=1

       [albanian]
       Encodings=UTF8:albanianUTF8
       IndexNumbers=1

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

       [armenian]
       Encodings=UTF8:armenianUTF8
       IndexNumbers=1

       [azeri]
       Encodings=UTF8:azeriUTF8
       IndexNumbers=1

       [general]
       Encodings=UTF8:generalUTF8,CYRILLIC:generalCYRILLIC
       IndexNumbers=1

6. Save the configuration file.

7. You can now configure HPE IDOL Server to associate the language types that you defined with documents.
