This is (in theory, soon in practice), a multilingual wiki. Follow these steps to translate an article. For the purposes of illustration, the article is called Example Content and we will translate the article to Spanish.

  • Create a new article called Es:Contenido del Ejemplo. The contents should be a translation of Example Content.
  • To Es:Contenido del Ejemplo add Template:Lang-1
  • To Example Content add Template:Lang-1

A box appear in each article listing the languages the article is available in. If an article is available more than two languages, use the appropriate template, e.g., Lang-2 for three languages, Lang-3 for four, etc.

Es: is special in the translated article name. It is the language code for Spanish, followed by :. If translating for another language, use the appropriate language code, e.g., Ja for Japanese (use alpha-2 if available).

Eventually you'll be able to search for articles only in language(s) you specifiy (technically because MediaWiki can treat a prefix before : as a separate namespace).
