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:translated page
| lang2=translated page2
| etc...
}}

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

Example

On a page called Template:Otherlang:

{{otherlang
| title=Template:Otherlang
| ru=Шаблон:Otherlang
}}

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 {{wrongtitle}} and {{DISPLAYTITLE}} templates currently in common use.
The English page has no suffix.

Available Languages

Language	Syntax	Result
English	en=Page_name
Russian	ru=Page_name:ru
