## Remarks

- Requires a vault session. No special vault rights are needed.
- Always contains the default language, ID 0. A [Language](https://developer.m-files.com/APIs/gRPC-API/Reference/Messages/MFiles.Language/index.md) with ID 0 has
  an empty `language_code`.
- Language names are in the session's vault language.
