New in version 4.7.0 is the option to set one or more languages for a CV. This allows you to have one CV that contains a certain vocabulary in both English and German, for instance. You can choose from nearly 7700 ISO specified languages.

	Caution
	This change in 4.7.0 introduced an incompatibility with earlier versions of ELAN; the structure of the .eaf changed to some extent. As a result, when opening a new .eaf in an older ELAN version, the entries of CV's will be missing!

By default, the language for a CV is set to 'undetermined (und)'. To change this, click the drop-down menu and select Edit Languages...

From the dialog that appears, select the desired language and click Change. The undetermined language in the upper drop-down menu will now be replaced with the chosen language. see the section called “Defining languages for your content” to edit the list of available languages.
