What is the system generated Translations data source?

The Translations data source is system generated and cannot deleted. Creating new schema fields is locked, however creating new data source items manually from the Translations data source is possible. Any updates to the schema fields and list of languages will happen automatically after they've been added in the More options settings page under Resources. The newly created language will become available as a new column in the Translations data source.

How to add languages for the Translations data source

Navigate to the Resources section in the Admin Center.
Click More options in the upper right corner.
Click Settings.
Add the new language.
Click Save.
Navigate back to the Translations data source in Resources and check that it's updated.

Important

It's recommended to always use a language with a 4-letter code like en-US or fr-FR. Languages with 2-letter codes like en or fr are not supported for the proofing language.
The page might need a refresh before the newly added languages are shown in the data source.

When a new language is added, it's added not only to the Translations data source, but also to the Languages data source.
