It is important to know that the source and target languages listed and available in these dropdowns do not depend on which languages have been selected in a specific XTM project template,that has been set up in the XTM Cloud Settings of a particular Oracle Profile, in the connector administration panel, but on which customized languages have been configured selected in Contentful the Oracle CMS, for a particular environment (Settings → Environment settings → Localesin a relevant Localization Policy [Content → Localization Policies → select a relevant Localization Policy → Language).

IMPORTANT! Take note of the Default Required label: this is always assigned to one language only. The default language is the language in which the source content is created, in Contentful. For this reason, when creating a locale, ensure that the Allow empty fields for this locale checkbox is deselected so that the source content is always there. On the other hand, as you might have already noticed, all the target languages "can be published empty". This is because you do not need any content in the target language fields at the start, since the translation is yet to come from XTM Cloud. For this reason, ensure that you have selected the Allow empty fields for this locale checkbox for target locales. |

XTM Connect – Locale takes whatever languages have been configured for a particular environment in Contentful repository’s Localization Policy in the Oracle CMS, and completely ignores the languages selected in an XTM Cloud project template.
For example, if a selected environment Localization Policy has the following languages:

the only languages available in the XTM Connect – Contentful Oracle Content Management plugin will be English (United Kingdom), Polish and German (Germany). All of them can be selected either as source or target languages.

Keep in mind that all the languages defined in the Localization Policy in the Oracle CMS must be mapped with their XTM Cloud counterparts |

. Therefore, first and foremost,a language mapping needs to be performed in the Language mapping section of a particular Oracle Profile in the connector administration panel.  Otherwise, for example, if a particular target language is not mapped in the connector administration panel, when creating an Oracle translation job in the CMS and submitting the content for translation in XTM Cloud into the target language in question, you will notice that the translation job will be cancelled automatically, thus never making its way to XTM Cloud.  |
