# I need custom tags for filtering!

BabelEdit includes only an **Approved** flag that can be set or cleared for each translation. You can use it to filter the list of translation IDs.

If you need additional flags to tag Translation IDs, you can [define a custom language](https://www.codeandweb.com/babeledit/knowledgebase/configure-custom-language.md) as a workaround. Name this language "tags" and use its translation text to store one or more tags.

In the filter dialog, use this custom language to filter by tag:
