Project Language

In ClickHelp, you can create projects in different languages. From this topic, you'll learn how to adjust the language of a project.

You can specify a project's base language on the first step of the wizard when you create a project:

For imported documentation, you can specify the base language on the first step of the Import Wizard.

You can change the project language later in the project’s Basic settings:

	Important
You cannot change a project language for Translated projects and for projects that have translations.

Natural Language Processing features

ClickHelp includes a number of language-aware Natural Language Processing features, so picking the right language for your projects is important for the features to work correctly. Specifically, the Project language setting affects the following items:

• Full-text search engine. If the language is specified correctly, ClickHelp uses inflectional forms handling to improve search results relevance (for example, "ran", "run" and "running" are handled as different forms of the same word).
• Spellchecker results. The dictionary used for spelling check is picked based on the project language. To learn more, refer to the Check Spelling topic.
• Readability score. Many readability metrics rely on language-specific factors, so specifying a valid language is important for them to work correctly. If the wrong language is picked for your project, the value of readability metrics for your topics might be incorrect.
