I made a homebrew race that allows you to choose a language (using Modifier Type: Language, Modifier Subtype: Choose a Language). However when I build a character with this homebrew when going through the race section it does not allow you to choose a language.

After you added the language, did you re-save the whole race?
It is added like this (see image) when I created the race. The problem only occurs when I am actually making a character using this race and common is added as a language but I'm never given the option to choose that second language.

I understood that the first time. After you added that modifier, did you re-save the whole homebrew using the main save button under basic information? The system only picks up those changes when the main save button has been hit.
In other words, try re-saving the whole homebrewed race again using the main save button. Then wait 20 minutes for the system to pick up o push those changes through to the character sheet.
After saving, allow 20 minutes to actually see the changes when next trying to make a character with the race.

I waited a full day, but the language option in the homebrew race I made still doesn't
show up when you use it to create a character.
Please provide a link to your homebrew, so we can take a look. 😊
Note - you do not need to publish the homebrew for this.

Thank you I appreciate that. Here it is: https://www.dndbeyond.com/races/460069-frog-race
I just had a look and the problem is you have checked the "Hide in Builder" checkbox for your Languages racial trait.
This means that this trait, and any choices for it, do not show in the character builder.

Well, now I feel silly! Let me go correct that. Thank you so much! I'll let you know if that makes the difference, but I bet it will
