When customizing a background, you should have a choice of two languages or tool proficiencies, or one of each, per the PHB rules:
"To customize a background, you can replace one feature with any other one, choose any two skills, and choose a total of two tool proficiencies or languages from the sample backgrounds."
However, the character builder currently limits you to picking only from the categories of what the background you're customizing normally offers. So if the background gives you two languages, you can't pick a tool proficiency instead, even though you should be able to: it only lists languages.
Yup, we have a revamp based on lots of background feedback that should allow everyone much more flexibility with backgrounds on characters. Thanks for using the toolset!

This is actually one of the first things staff will be rolling out.
