We can’t define the actions based on translations of email subscriptions in workflows, even If we have translations for email subsriptions. ---

Hi [@Laiba\_Zakir\_w4](https://community.hubspot.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/203908), That’s correct and expected behaviors. Contacts don’t subscribe to a language version of a subscription type, they subscribe to the subscription type in general. The translations in the subscription settings are purely cosmetic. If you want to assign contacts to a list broken down by subscription and language, you would have to ask for the preferred language or set it using a hidden field in website forms. Let me know if you have any follow-up questions! ---

Hi [@Laiba\_Zakir\_w4](https://community.hubspot.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/203908), I’m not sure what exactly you’re referring to. Can you please provide more context to your question? Was does “use” refer to? ---

As i want to create a workflow on the behalf of subscription type language variation. ---

No, [@Laiba\_Zakir\_w4](https://community.hubspot.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/203908), it will not. Please see my first reply. This translation is only cosmetic to the user, it’s not equivalent to subscribing to a specific language. It’s equivalent to subscribing to any language. You’re simply improving the user experience by showing the subscription type description in the reader’s language. Best regards ---
