I have done this for C++ templates and it works well. The link given below by Richard Deeming provides full details.

You haven't given us anything to go on, so all we can do is point you to the documentation:

Create project templates - Visual Studio (Windows) | Microsoft Learn[^]

To add to what Richard has said, you can create a template for projects, classes, and files pretty easily - just follow the link he gave, and also see here: Template Parameters | Microsoft Learn[^]

But ... you can't add a new language to visual studio, only create projects for the languages it already knows. You can add support for new languages to the editor - Add editor support for other languages - Visual Studio (Windows) | Microsoft Learn[^] - but you can't add a language and expect it to be compiled, debugged, and released within the IDE itself.
