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.
