# Languages

> Keep English, Italian, Spanish and French versions of one snippet under one trigger, and pick the language when you insert it.

One snippet can hold a body for each language. They share the name, the trigger and the folder.

## Add a language

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open the snippet">
    Click its row on the Snippets page.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Pick the language">
    Above **Body**, click **EN**, **IT**, **ES** or **FR**. A dot marks the languages that already have text.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Write that version">
    Type the body for that language. The other languages keep their own text.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Save">
    Click **Save changes**.
  </Step>
</Steps>

* **Multi** holds one body that mixes languages. It gets no language check.
* **Clear** removes the language on screen. The snippet is saved without it.
* If the text doesn't read like the language you picked, the editor says so and won't save until you fix the text or pick the right language.

## Insert a language

When a snippet has more than one language, SprintBrain asks you to **Choose a language to insert**.

* In the right-click menu, the snippet opens a submenu with one entry per language.
* To pick one language for you each time, set **Default Language** in the extension popup's settings.
* The snippet list can be filtered by language.

## Words that follow the reader

* `{greeting}` prints Good morning, Buongiorno, Buenos días or Bonjour to match the snippet's language and the time of day. See [Formulas](/text-snippets/formulas#greeting).
* A **Person name** field capitalises a name the way the snippet's language does. See [Fields](/text-snippets/dynamic-fields#text).
* Some greeting words agree with the name typed after them. In Spanish, `Querido` followed by a name field prints `Querida Lucía` when the name is Lucía. This works for common words like Querido, Estimado, Caro and Cher.
