Template:Autotranslate/Languages/doc

Syntax

 * PageName (optional) - the name of the page to display language links for. If omitted then the English version of the current page is used.  This parameter can normally be omitted, as it is only required if you want to link to a page other than the one you place the template on, what occurs in Autotranslate. If this parameter is used on a sub-page make sure you supply the root name of the MainPage, not the full page name (e.g. on Template:Cc-by-1.0/fr you would need to use   and not  ).

Usage
The template should only be placed on pages that exist in more than one language, and it should be placed in the same location on each translation of the page.

For example, on the  you would include the text , both on   itself, and on each of its language sub-pages – , , ...–. The template automatically creates links to any language sub-pages that exist, e.g. Main Page/ja, Main Page/fr, and ignores non-existant languages.

See Project:Language policy for further details about translating pages.

Supported languages
This shows you the name of each language's sub-page (using Main Page as an example). Other languages may be added easily as necessary. Please use the appropriate prefix, as used on Wikipedia when adding a new language. Please do not add languages for which no pages exist yet, as this will increase the time needed to include the template without adding any benefit (languages are only displayed to the user when the relevant page exists).

The link on the language names goes to the Wikipedia in that language. If no Wikipedia in your language exists, do not add pages in that language to MediaWiki.org! This wiki is not the place for language advocacy - please go through the correct channels, and once your language has a Wikipedia then please return to add content here.
