Wikiversity:Language select

From Wikiversity

For a more detailed version about this feature, see Meta:Language select.


Language select allows users to hide foreign languages on multilingual pages. This would, for example, allow a French reader to see only French text on multilingual pages (though they would still see Spanish on a Spanish-only page).

How to select a language

  • To select a language, enter its ISO 639-1 code in the input box (en for English), and click on .
  • If you want to display all languages, type mul or click on .

Usage

Identifying multilingual pages

Pages that implement language selection include a notice using {{multilingual}}.
