Could you tell me when the command does not work for you?
Just tested this in a multi-root workspace I set up earlier, but I don't run into any issues.

Was user experience fault from my part (rapid keyboad maniac!). Was typing from keyboard the target language and Enter without first, moving to the list, then checking the checkbox, and finally Enter...
Could be fine to autovalidate the target language if unique.

I see. I will check if I can change the command so that you can also just type in the target language tag without needing to select one (or more) from the pre-defined list.

It appears that there is a limitation when the showQuickPick function from the VSCode API is used with canPickMany=true: pressing the Enter key will not select the active item, but instead close the menu. With canPickMany=false, pressing the Enter key does select the active item.

@pmoison Would something like this work for you?

• I will change the command so that by default you will only get to select a single target language.
• Accordingly, I will add two new options:
  • Select multiple... (will let you select multiple target languages from a list)
  • Enter custom... (will allow you to enter a custom tag, e.g., if it is not in the list)

Demo:

If you have some ideas/suggestions, please feel free to share!
