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.
