## What to do if I have a problem with encodings when using Oracle through ODBC? {#oracle-odbc-encodings}
If you use Oracle through ODBC driver as a source of external dictionaries, you need to set up correctly value for the `NLS_LANG` variable in the `/etc/default/clickhouse`. For more details see the [Oracle NLS_LANG FAQ](https://www.oracle.com/technetwork/products/globalization/nls-lang-099431.html).
