# How to setup Language Custom Formats

Here we will try to explain how to setup your own preferred language Custom Format, with a few examples.

## Language Examples

### Language: Original Only

<sub><sub>Language: Not Original</sub>

This is one of the most common one used besides the English only one.

With this Custom Format you will get only the Movie/TV Show with the original language.

For this we're going to make use of so called reverse scoring.

Add the following json to your Radarr/Sonarr with a score of `-10000`.

??? example "JSON - [CLICK TO EXPAND]"

    ```json
    {
      "trash_score": "-10000",
      "name": "Language: Not Original",
      "includeCustomFormatWhenRenaming": false,
      "specifications": [
        {
          "name": "Not Original Language",
          "implementation": "LanguageSpecification",
          "negate": true,
          "required": true,
          "fields": {
            "value": -2
          }
        }
      ]
    }
    ```

### Language: English Only

<sub><sub>Language: Not English</sub>

With this Custom Format you will get only the Movie/TV Show in the English language.

!!! info "Replace the English condition with your preferred language."

For this we're going to make use of so called reverse scoring.

Add the following json to your Radarr/Sonarr with a score of `-10000`.

??? example "JSON - [CLICK TO EXPAND]"

    ```json
    {
      "trash_score": "-10000",
      "trash_description": "Language: English Only",
      "name": "Language: Not English",
      "includeCustomFormatWhenRenaming": false,
      "specifications": [
        {
          "name": "Not English Language",
          "implementation": "LanguageSpecification",
          "negate": true,
          "required": true,
          "fields": {
            "value": 1
          }
        }
      ]
    }
    ```

### Language: Multiple Only

<sub><sub>Language: Not Dutch</sub>

In some case you need multiple languages in your Custom Format for different reasons,

in this example I will use Dutch and Flemish being a lot of Movies/TV Shows are collaborate made between the 2 countries/studio's.

With this Custom Format you will get only the Movie/TV Show with Dutch and/or Flemish Audio.

!!! info "Replace the Dutch/Flemish conditions with your preferred language(s)."

For this we're going to make use of so called reverse scoring.

Add the following json to your Radarr/Sonarr with a score of `-10000`.

??? example "JSON - [CLICK TO EXPAND]"

    ```json
    {
      "trash_score": "-10000",
      "name": "Language: Not Dutch",
      "includeCustomFormatWhenRenaming": false,
      "specifications": [
        {
          "name": "Not Dutch Language",
          "implementation": "LanguageSpecification",
          "negate": true,
          "required": true,
          "fields": {
            "value": 7
          }
        },
        {
          "name": "Not Flemish Language",
          "implementation": "LanguageSpecification",
          "negate": true,
          "required": true,
          "fields": {
            "value": 19
          }
        }
      ]
    }
    ```

### Language: Prefer X but i'll take Y
