Introduction
When you run the XTM Connect – Oracle Content Management plugin, to submit content for translation in XTM Cloud, you can make other configuration settings for your XTM Cloud project. You do so in the Create Translation Job panel, on the left-hand side of the screen. Apart from selecting an XTM customer or an XTM Template, you can also select a source and target language combination.

General rule
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 (created in the XTM Cloud Settings in 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. Oracle. |
XTM Connect – Contentful 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.

IMPORTANT! |
Contentful languages do not have to be mapped with their XTM Cloud counterparts – they have their own language codes (for instance: ca, pl-PL). However, during content submission to XTM Cloud, XTM Connect – Contentful replaces the Contentful languages codes with XTM Cloud language codes on the fly, according to corresponding XTM Cloud language.
...
Keep in mind that all the languages defined in the Localization Policy in the Oracle CMS must be mapped to their XTM Cloud counterparts. Prerequisite: for this reason, language mapping must first be performed in the connector administration panel, in the Language mapping section of a particular Oracle Profile.  Otherwise, for example, if a particular target language is not mapped in the connector administration panel and an Oracle translation job is created in the CMS and the content is submitted for translation into the required target language, in XTM Cloud, you will see that the translation job will be cancelled automatically and will never make its way to XTM Cloud.  |
