The Retrieve Languages service allows the issuer to retrieve available languages and their BCP 47 language tags on Priceless Specials API.

Upon successful request for retrieval of the languages, the issuer may use the language tags to further fine-tune their requests for offers, programs, benefits, or Mastercard products from the Priceless Specials API.

## Pre-requisites {#pre-requisites}
