Template:Otherlang
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 |
