# Project languages

"Project languages" is the list of languages you translate (localize) your project to.

Project owner and project manager are able to add and remove languages.

### Language visibility

By default all languages are visible: selectable in a language selector for the project users:

You may want to temporary hide some languages from your users (for example, if your proofreader is still working on translations). This can be done in project settings:

Use the language visibility switch to adjust the languages you need.

### Notes

1. If you remove an existing language from a project, its translations are **not** removed. They still exist and appear back if you re-add the language.
