# Selecting a primary language for your listings

You can now create a listing in any language that your app supports, and you can also select any language to be your primary.

***

The primary language of the app is the language used when your app is shown to merchants if the language they are browsing in doesn’t have a translated listing. You are no longer required to have English, and can create a listing in any and all languages that your app is available in. As a reminder, your app also must be translated in that language.
