This template creates a language bar that's shown on the upper right corner of the page. The language of a page is determined by language prefixes (like Zh/, Ru/, etc) instead of interface language.

Note:English is the default language and English pages don't need language prefix.

Important:LanguageBar should be used only on main, Category, Help and Valve Developer Community namespaces. Other namespaces don't use prefixes (see also {{language}})

This template also applies Category:Translation. (see the category for more details)

Parameters and Examples

Parameter	Description	Example
No Parameters	Check for various language translations for this page and create flags for them.	{{LanguageBar}}
{{{title}}}	Allows you to change the title of a page.	{{LanguageBar|title=Example Title}}
{{{_}}}	If title param is not used and not in Category namespace then SUBPAGENAME is automatically set as title which doesn't have underscores. Setting this parameter keeps the underscores.	{{LanguageBar|_=1}}

Note:If you encounter {{lang}}, {{langsp}}, {{language subpage}} on pages rewrite them to use LanguageBar. Internally they were edited to use LanguageBar only remaining step is just rewriting them on the used pages. See categories Category:TODO rewrite lang to LanguageBar and Category:TODO rewrite langsp to LanguageBar
