This command activates the Languages page of the Preferences dialog box. It allows you to edit language-specific options, such as the language keyword list.
Source Insight supports two types of languages: Built-in and Custom. You can alter a few options for built-in languages. For custom languages, you can control all the parameters for a generic language.

You associate a language with a particular document type with the Document Options command. See also “Document Options”.

Project Specific Conditions…
Click to edit the conditions defined that are specific to the current project only. These conditions are only in effect when the current project is open, and only for files that belong to the project.
Global Conditions…
Click to edit the global condition set. Global conditions are defined for all projects. The total set of conditions defined for any given project is a combination of both the project-specific, and the global condition sets. The project-specific conditions will override global conditions with the same name. See also “Edit Condition”.
