This template adds links to available translations for the page to the top.

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
| LowercaseLanguageCode1=PageName1
| LowercaseLanguageCode2=PageName2
| [...]
}}

Note: Do not include a line for the language of the current page : this will add a link to the current page, which is useless and will only confuse readers.

Example

On an English wiki page named "Hello":

{{otherlang
| de=DE:Hallo
| fr=FR:Bonjour
| es=ES:Hola
}}

Notice that there is no line for the English language, as it is the language of the page that template is being used on.

Note: The template will accept any page name. By convention however, translated pages are named according to the syntax UppercaseLanguageCode:TranslatedName ; as for English pages, they are named normally, without any EN: prefix.

Available Languages

Language Syntax
English en=Page_name
Deutsch de=Page_name:de
