How do I translate “Please select either A or B.”

Can the “or” be translated directly, or would I have to work around it like

AもBは, ひとつを選ぶください。

question
word-choice
Exclusive or, does it exist in Japanese?
**または** and **どちらか** ( **いずれか** is more the formal version, **どっちか** is more
casual) can only be exclusive.

> AまたはB、一つだけ選んでください。

This a pretty strong way to say only choose one.

In cases where you don't have to be so emphatic,

> AかBのどっちかを選んで。

is a normal way to say it.

The most standard way to say it is:

ＡとＢのどちらかを選んでください。

Although there's plenty of ways you can spin it:

> ＡとＢのいずれかを選んでください。  
>  Choose between A and B.
>
> ＡとＢの中から一つ選んでください。  
>  Pick one from A and B.
>
> ＡかＢか一つ選んでください。  
>  Choose one, A or B.
>
> ＡかＢを選んでください。  
>  Choose A or B.
>
> Ａ、またはＢを選んでください。  
>  Choose A, or choose B.
>
> Ａ、あるいはＢを選んでください。  
>  Choose A, or choose B.

... and so on.

This is without taking into consideration formality or honorifics. If you take
those into consideration as well, you have even more combinations to work
with. You can use the -て form on its own (選んで), polite imperative form
(選びなさい), 選んで頂戴, etc. etc.
