# targetLanguage

The output language to translate into.

## Declaration

```swift
final let targetLanguage: Locale.Language?
```

## Discussion

Discussion If this value is set to nil, the session chooses an optimal language to translate into based on the sourceLanguage and the person’s preferredLanguages. note: This value doesn’t update after translation. To see what target language the session uses for a particular translation, check the response targetLanguage.
