Replacement for {{Lang}}.

The template will look for translation subpages and load one of them according to the interface language. The template will load the English version and display a message if the translation subpage does not exist. The template will only display a message if there are not any translations and the English version does not exist.

Creating a new page

Just create an empty page, put a MultiPage on it, click on the translation button ( ) in the upper right corner and select the primary language. After making a choice, {{MultiPage}} will redirect you to edit the language subpage on which you will need to place your text and template {{Language subpage}}.

Usage on existing pages

Before using it on an existing page, you should make sure that you have done the following steps:

1. Move the English content of the My Cute Article page to its language subpage My Cute Article/en Important: Do not move associated talk page;
2. Move the contents of the translated My Cute Article page to its language subpage My Cute Article/<language code> (for example, My Cute Article:zh-ch will become an My Cute Article/zh);
3. Move the English categories to the base page (for example, to the My Cute Article page);
4. Move the shared or international templates to the base page;
5. Remove language suffixes (

pt-br, |suf=:de) from all language subpages. They are deprecated and no longer needed.

1. Remove language categories (for example, [[Category:My Cute Category:ru]]) from all language subpages. They are deprecated and no longer needed.
2. Place {{Language subpage}} at the top of the language subpages.

After the above steps, place {{MultiPage}} on the base page above the categories and enjoy what you see.
