First of all you need to define the source and target languages for ai-based translations. These global parameters are saved in the Tab *Languages.*

**Fields:**

* **Source language (Single Select)**\
  Select the original language of your website content.\
  Only published frontend languages are available.
* **Target languages (Multi Select)**\
  Select one or more languages into which your content should be translated.

{% hint style="warning" %}
Ensure that all required languages are already created and published in your Joomla language settings before configuring this section.
{% endhint %}
