This template creates a language switcher that supports English, German and French language pages. It can be inserted into a wiki page via the VisualEditor Insert > Template menu.
Importing the template
(The download file here only works in a wiki that is set to the content language English. For downloading the file for a wiki with content language set to German, go to the German Helpdesk.)
The import file is included in the archive file HW-LanguageSwitcher.zip. Unpack the zip file first.
On the page Special:Import follow these steps:
- Select file and choose HW-LanguageSwitcher.xml.
- Enter an Interwiki prefix. Since this field is required, simply add hw (for hallowelt).
- Keep the selection Import to default locations.
- Click Upload file... .
The template is now available in your wiki.
Pages included in the import
The xml import creates the following files in your wiki:
- Template:Languages
- Template:Languages/styles.css
Using the template
For the language switcher to work, you need to create the language versions of a page as the English pages subpages, e.g.:
- Vacation policy
- Vacation policy/de
- Vacation policy/fr
The template is added to each language version.
- Add the template Languages from the VisualEditor insert-dialog.
- Provide a display title if the page is a subpage. For example for the Vacation policy/de, enter "Urlaubsregelung":
