# Choose your languages
URL: /docs/use-linguana/choose-languages
LLM index: /llms.txt
Description: Select the languages your application should support and keep important product terms consistent.

# Choose your languages

Start with the languages your customers need most. You can add more later without changing your application integration.

## 1. Open Languages

1. Open **Languages** for your project.
2. Search by language name, native name, locale code, or country.
3. Enable the language for your project.

Your source language stays enabled automatically.

## 2. Request development translations

The plugin requests the enabled target locales from project settings. It has no target-locale list option. To translate and publish those languages during an authorized development build, configure:

```ts
translation: {
  enabled: true,
  maxChargeMicros: 100_000,
  waitTimeoutMs: 300_000,
  publish: "development",
}
```

<ExpectedResult>
The language appears in project settings and can be offered by your application.
</ExpectedResult>

The `translation` option requires a development project token and `environment: "development"`. The per-build cap is expressed in microdollars; `100_000` is $0.10. Production publication is explicit in Releases.

## Product terminology

In **Languages**, add required target wording for important product terms. **Save glossary version** creates and activates a new version of those rules for subsequent work. Keep placeholders intact when editing translations; glossary validation still applies.

## Verify

Open a translation run and confirm the language is included before reviewing its result.

## Failure and next

If a language cannot be enabled, check the project fallback settings and [troubleshoot the dashboard](/docs/troubleshooting/jobs-and-provider).
