== Syntax ==
<nowiki>{{{Languages|PageName}}}</nowiki>
* '''PageName''' (optional) - the name of the page to display language links for. If omitted then the English version of the current page is used. This parameter can normally be omitted, as it is only required if you want to link to a page other than the one you place the template on, which is very uncommon. If this parameter is used on a sub-page make sure you supply the root name, not the full page name (e.g. on [[MediaWiki/fr]] you would need to use <code><nowiki>{{{Languages|MediaWiki}}}</nowiki></code> and not <code><nowiki>{{{Languages|MediaWiki/fr}}}</nowiki></code>).
== Usage ==
The English version of a page is always the main version, with all other languages as sub-pages, named using the appropriate language code (see below).
For example, on the Main Page you would include the text <code><nowiki>{{{Languages}}}</nowiki></code>, both on [[Main Page]] itself, and on each of its language sub-pages. The template automatically creates links to any language sub-pages that exist, e.g. <tt>Main Page/ja<tt>, <tt>Main Page/fr</tt>, and ignores non-existant languages.
See [[Project:Language policy]] for further details about translating pages.
