# Creating a sub-language

Click on the sub-language creation icon on the extreme-right of the English language line. Fill-in the form by stating a common name for the language (e.g. “Medical English”) and an English name without spaces nor accents (e.g. “medical\_english”), and an ISO code that is the same as the father language (in this case “en”).
