[Edit] [Purge] Template-info.svg Template documentation

Inserts a language bar with links to the page's current and future translations. Redlinks are hidden by default; clicking the "Other languages" link unhides them so that the user can quickly begin translating. This template appears at the top of almost every page of this wiki, thanks in part to templates like {{KeyDescription}} and {{ValueDescription}}.

If a translation is missing in any language that has its own language namespace, this template automatically adds the current page to the corresponding tracking category. The current page's sort key in the category consists of the current page's language code and title.

If the page title begins with a language pseudonamespace, this template sets the page's default category sort key to the page title minus the pseudonamespace. Thus, neither Key:access nor DE:Key:access has a default category sort key, but Cs:Key:access has a default sort key of Key:access. If for some reason you want the page to have a different default sort key, either add a DEFAULTSORT somewhere before this template or add a DEFAULTSORT with the noerror parameter after this template.

To modify the full list of languages displayed in the language bar, follow the instructions at Module:Languages/config.
