Supported languages matrix

This table displays each language supported by a Relativity feature and its corresponding functionality status. The features include OCR, Assisted Review, Structured Analytics, Processing, and the Viewer. Stemming, date recognition, and querying on abbreviations (i.e., a single letter followed by a period) are only available in English text in a dtSearch index. The SQL Server settings determine the languages available for word-break characters used in the full text index.

Use the following resources for more information on SQL Server and dtSearch supported languages:

See Command line import for a complete list of alternate language encoding values and Importing document metadata, files, and extracted text for instructions on importing documents with the Relativity Desktop Client and selecting the appropriate file encoding value.

  • √ - indicates that the language is supported.
  • √* - indicates that the language must be installed in the Microsoft operating system for the viewer to function. Specifically, you must install the language to your local workstation.
  • If the cell is empty, the feature is not supported.

Special considerations

Note the following details about the supported languages:

  • dtSearch in Relativity is accent-insensitive by default. This means characters with accent marks and other diacritics are stored in the same fashion as those without those marks. If you need to perform a search that includes accents, change the Create Accent Sensitive setting on the dtSearch index to Yes.
  • Conceptual Analytics and Classification indexes are language-agnostic and therefore support all languages. Categorization does not display Unicode choices in the field tree properly.
  • The Processing column reflects languages supported during OCR in Processing. Processing's text extraction is natively Unicode and supports the full Unicode spectrum.

See Command line import for a complete list of supported languages encoding values.
