This template adds available translations for the page to the top through the use of flags.

To prevent issues, this template must be placed at the very beginning of a page.

Tip! When contributing a new translation to a document that already has other translations, please carry over the existing translations to the otherlang template of your contributed page. This way all multilingual pages are linked.

Syntax

  {{otherlang
  | noborder=true (OPTIONAL)
  | title=localized page display title
  | lang=page:lang
  | lang2=page:lang2
  | etc...
  }}

Warning! Do not include the language of the current page. This will only confuse readers.

Example

On a page called Test: 

  {{otherlang
  | title=Test
  | de=Test:de
  }}

Note that:

  • The language "en" is not included, as it is the language of the page that template is being used on.
  • title is assigned the translated name of the page, and will appear as the display title (heading) for the page. This can replace the existing Template:wrongtitle and Template:DISPLAYTITLE templates currently in common use.
  • The English page has no suffix.
  • The same template must be used on the translated page (with the other language) to link back

Available Languages
