# Language Targeting

*This article describes resources that enable you to read and define language targeting.*

## Overview

Target lines based on the language users most frequently view in their browsers. Advertisers can target or exclude specific languages.

The Yahoo DSP supports `LANGUAGES` targeting for lines serving display and video ads.

## Endpoint

```plaintext
/traffic/lines/{id}/targeting
```

- A `GET` request enables you to view languages targeted by the specified line.
- A `POST` request enables you to target languages with the specified line.

## Resources

The `targeting` resource is the standard Yahoo DSP resource for targeting consumers based on their profiles, behaviors, and ad content.

This resource comprises multiple fields that enable you to specify line targeting across many types of targets including the `LANGUAGES` target type.

The `targeting` resource is defined by the following `LANGUAGES` targeting type-specific fields:

| **Parameter** | **Parameter Type** | **Description** | **Data Type** | **Required** |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `id` | path | Specifies the line ID. | `integer` | Y |
| `languages` | body | Specifies the languages targeted: - `UNKNOWN` - `ENGLISH` - `CHINESE` - `SPANISH` - `JAPANESE` - `PORTUGUESE` - `GERMAN` - `ARABIC` - `FRENCH` - `RUSSIAN` - `DUTCH` - `SWEDISH` - `ITALIAN` - `INDONESIAN` - `ALL` | `array` | Y |
| `types` | body | Specifies an array of targeting types to update, enable, or disable. `LANGUAGES` targeting type must be specified to apply the changes. To learn more, refer to [Targeting Types](/dsp-api/docs/about-targeting#targering-types). | `array` | Y |
