This page a draft. Please, do not translate it.

The language bar (where you switch between versions of the same article in different languages) is a template where the titles for those article versions in different languages are specified. For most articles (except for those about plugins) this template is named Template:Languages/<Article name in English>.

If you see a page with (Page should be fixed.) note for your language, it is better to do the following:

• Click "Edit" and scroll the page to the very bottom. Find Template:Languages/<Article name in English> link under the section Templates used on this page.
• Clicking Template:Languages/<Article name in English> will take you to the appropriate template's page.
• Click "Edit" once again and specify the article's title in your language as it is done for existing languages.
• Save the template and return to the article. You'll see you lang code in the langbar written in red but without any additional notes.
• Now clicking on your lang code will create a new page entitled just the way you've specified in Template:Languages/<Article name in English>.
• Edit the new article (copy and paste the source text of the English version – you may open it in another tab of your browser – and start translating) and save it.

All the Template:Languages/* are gathered in Category:I18n.
