# Manage portal languages

> [!note]
> To configure Content Hub, you must either be a superuser or have the necessary permissions granted to you through [user group policies](https://doc.sitecore.com/ch/en/users/content-hub/user-group-policies.html "User group policies").

To [localize content](https://doc.sitecore.com/ch/en/users/content-hub/portal-translation.html "Portal translation"), you first need to add the portal language to your Sitecore Content Hub solution. At least one portal language is included as standard, but you can add more languages as required.

Adding a portal language and switching to it also localizes the date format. For example, *EN-US* uses the U.S. date format (MM/DD/YYYY), while *EN-GB* uses the British date format (DD/MM/YYYY). To change the format, switch to a language that uses your preferred style.

## Add a portal language

If a particular portal language has not yet been added to your solution, you can add it. After adding a new language, you can populate it with translations either [one at a time](https://doc.sitecore.com/ch/en/users/content-hub/add-individual-translations.html "Add individual translations") or [in bulk](https://doc.sitecore.com/ch/en/users/content-hub/export-translations.html "Export translations").

To add a portal language:

1. On the menu bar, click **Manage** :mdiCogOutline:.
2. On the **Manage** page, click **Portal languages**.
3. On the **Portal languages** page, click :mdiPlus: **Portal language**.
4. In the **Portal language** dialog, fill in the following fields:

    | Field | Description | Mandatory |
    | --- | --- | --- |
    | **Name** | Name of the language. | Yes |
    | **Culture** | Culture related to the language. | Yes |
    | **Label** | Descriptive label for the language. | No |

5. To create another portal language, select the **Create another** check box.
6. Click **Save**. If you selected the **Create another** check box, the **Portal language** dialog displays where you can create another portal language. If you are not creating another item, the **Portal languages** page opens.

    > [!note]
    > When you create another item, some of the fields are prefilled with values you already defined.

## Remove a portal language

You might want to remove certain languages from Content Hub. After you remove the portal language, you can remove the associated culture from the settings as well.

To remove a portal language:

1. On the menu bar, click **Manage** :mdiCogOutline:.
2. On the **Manage** page, click **Portal languages**.
3. On the **Portal languages** page, next to the language you want to remove, click **Delete** :mdiTrashCanOutline:.
4. To confirm the deletion, in the **Delete** dialog, click **OK**.
5. Optionally, to remove the culture associated with the portal language, go back to the **Manage** page and click **Settings**.
6. On the **Settings** page, in the search box, enter *cultures*, and in the **Localization** section, click **Cultures**.
7. In the right pane, next to the culture you want to delete, click **Delete** :mdiClose:.
8. Click **Save**.
