# Conversion Plug-In Parameters

The Webtrends encoding conversion plug-in uses the parameters in this section during the character encoding conversion process. The Webtrends JavaScript tag generates these parameters when the `gi18n` global variable is set to `true` and when a web page contains `DCSext` query parameters. 

For more information about `DCSext` query parameters, see “Customizing the Webtrends JavaScript Tag” in Webtrends Analytics On Demand Implementation Guide. For more information about the encoding conversion plug-in see “Internationalization and Webtrends” in the Administration User’s Guide.

#### WT.dep
`WT.dep=DCSext parameter1[;DCSext parameter2...]`
Contains a semicolon-delimited list of the custom `DCSext` query parameters on a web page. The encoding conversion plug-in uses this information to identify the parameters that are known to be encoded in UTF-8. For example, a web page that contains `DCSext.abc=655` and `DCSext.xyz=889` would be captured by the JavaScript tag as `WT.dep=abc;xyz`.

:::(Info) (Note)
Do not use this parameter for collecting data.
