I am starting the coordination of the translation efforts of Creative Commons Deeds into Papiamento. A language spoken in the Caribbean islands. When I wanted to request the language, it did not show up.

How do I request languages to be added to the ‘request language’ option?

Hello Maarten,

Can you please share the URL of the project you’re having this issue with? Also, having a screenshot of what you see when this language is requested would be helpful.

In the pop-up screen that appears when you join a project, you need to select which language you want to help translate; after you select it, if the language is not part of the project, the “request language” button will be displayed, and you need to click on it.

I hope this answer helps.

Thank you Sandy,

So I click “request language”, search for ‘Papiamento’, but that language does not appear in the list. See screenshot.

Hello Maarten,

This is what I saw this morning when I tried to join this specific project in this language:

 ![Screenshot 2023-03-14 at 8.17.44](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex030/uploads/transifex/original/2X/6/64e751a4c458ad94e5185c581a88bd0584303aa1.png)

But now it looks like Papiamento was accepted for the administrators of this project:

Can you please try again and tell me if the issue persists?

Thanks in advance
