I'm filing through the International Bureau to back-date our EU application to the U.S. filing date. So far so good. Now it's time to check the boxes for what jurisdictions we want to file on. I see the box to indicate that we want to extend protection into the EU, but there's also a mandatory drop-down menu and an instruction "Please select second language." Can someone please explain what this choice does, and what effect it will have? Obviously, I've never dealt with this particular task before.
