Click Add.
The Add Language dialog box is displayed.
Enter a language name, using any OS-supported characters.

---|---|
Now or later, you can use the Make-Up Gain slider to offset the language's volume between -24 and 24 dB. You might need to define volume offsets because your localized assets will consist of dialogue from different studios with different actors and recording conditions, and you might need to balance them and match the levels for each language. |
Click OK to confirm the new language and close the Add Language dialog.
The new language and pending actions ("Add") appear in their respective columns of the new bottom row of the Language Manager.
