Valve Developer Community talk:Alternative Languages
As languages increase in number, the amount of new templates for every language to cater every other language will increase. This seems like an unnecessity. I vote Valve adds official support for languages. --Kodak 17:00, 10 Oct 2005 (PDT)
- I created this page and most of the current template schema, knowing that we'd have an excessive amount of languages. I also agree with you, but that's up to Valve.. The wiki version is still 1.4.5, while 1.5.0 is out. Good luck with that. --AndrewNeo 03:57, 11 Oct 2005 (PDT)

how to add the tempate to a category?
{{otherlang:en}} {{otherlang:en:de|category:categoryname:de}}
how to link a category to the category for translated pages? SIzzLeopard 08:33, 25 Sep 2007 (PDT)
Should I add redirects with translated names to translated templates?
So like for instance if a chinese person wanted to use Template:Confirm:zh-cn, it would likely be annoying to use it, as they would need to either copy paste english text or use an english keyboard to type in {{confirm:zh-cn}}, which not all chinese people want to do. If there was a template redirect page named simply Template:确认 that redirected to Template:Confirm:zh-cn, then chinese people would only have to type in {{确认}} to use the chinese confirm template.
In my opinion this would make it easier for chinese people to insert chinese templates. Right? - Amicdict (talk) 16:23, 15 September 2021 (PDT)
(using Template:Message) As for translating templates, why not just use redirect names as the templates in foreign languages to the English template? For example, using a Russian name for the {{Warning}} template Предупреждение redirect; an Esperanto redirect Noto to the English template {{Note}}.

Language Subpages
how do we treat translations of subpages? this page says that if a translated page's URL doesn't match the English version, it should be moved, but like
that feels wrong for subpages. technically, the Russian translation of SteamVR/Environments should be SteamVR/Environments:ru, but that feels off. it isn't a subpage of SteamVR, it's a subpage of SteamVr:ru. this gets even worse for the sub-subpages, like SteamVR/Environments/Getting Started. what should be done in these cases?
