 - [ ] **testTargets**: **[[Test Target](#test-target)]** - a list of test targets that should be included in the scheme. These will be added to the build targets and the test entries. Each entry can either be a simple string, or a [Test Target](#test-target)
 - [ ] **gatherCoverageData**: **Bool** - a boolean that indicates if this scheme should gather coverage data. This defaults to false
 - [ ] **disableMainThreadChecker**: **Bool** - a boolean that indicates if this scheme should disable disable the Main Thread Checker. This defaults to false
+- [ ] **language**: **String** - a String that indicates the language used for running and testing. This defaults to nil
+- [ ] **region**: **String** - a String that indicates the region used for running and testing. This defaults to nil
 - [ ] **commandLineArguments**: **[String:Bool]** - a dictionary from the argument name (`String`) to if it is enabled (`Bool`). These arguments will be added to the Test, Profile and Run scheme actions
 - [ ] **environmentVariables**: **[[Environment Variable](#environment-variable)]** or **[String:String]** - environment variables for Run, Test and Profile scheme actions. When passing a dictionary, every key-value entry maps to a corresponding variable that is enabled.
 - [ ] **preActions**: **[[Execution Action](#execution-action)]** - Scripts that are run *before* all actions
