Template:Babel

This user cannot read or write any languages. Assistance is required.

Usage

The Babel template is meant to let other users see what languages a user knows, and what level of that language they can speak.

To use the Babel box on your user page, start by typing

 {{babel|

on your user page.

Then, you can add the languages you know by inserting the language code and number:

 {{babel|xx-#

Here, xx stands for the two letter language code of that language. To see a list of the languages that are available and completed, see below. For example, en-N would mean that the user is a native (N) speaker of English (en).

 {{babel|en-N

If you want to add more languages, type a pipe (|), then add more language codes:

 {{babel|en-N|es-N|fr-3|it-4

Then end with }}.

 {{babel|en-N|es-N|fr-3|it-4}}

You can have up to 100 language boxes.

{{babel|en-N|es-N|fr-3|it-4}} produces something like this:

Wikipedia:Babel
en This user is a native speaker of English. es Este usuario tiene el español como lengua materna. fr-3 Cet utilisateur peut contribuer avec un niveau avancé de français. it-4 Questo utente ha una conoscenza da madrelingua dell italiano.

You can also add color:

 {{babel|color=xxxxxx|xx-#|xx-#}}

"xxxxxx" is where you can put the color code (such as FFFFFF) for the color you want. You can also type regular color names there (such as blue).

 {{babel|color=blue|en-N|es-N|fr-3|it-4}}

produces:
