This documentation is transcluded from Template:LanguageSelector/doc.

Displays a configurable set of links that switch the page it's used on to another language. It is intended to complement {{LangSwitch}}, but you might find previously unintended uses. ;)

Usage

{{LanguageSelector |icons= |<unnamed parameters, numbered 2..40>= |notpiol= |action= }}

  • The switch only applies to the page the template is transcluded on, clicking other links will return you to the language set in your MediaWiki preferences. This does not generally apply to script calls, e. g. "hide/show" links, or controls for sortable tables or other embedded stuff.
  • The template can be used inline, it should not break any layout.

(Dont put examples with all languages here at it would break the transclusion of the documentation subpage in the main template page).
