Template:Help:How translation works
Jump to navigation

The custom translation extension automatically identifies the user's language in one of the following ways.
- The user's preferences page (if they have a wiki account).
- From the user clicking on the language selector at the top of the page.
- By prefixing LANGCODE subdomain to a page's URL, for example: http://de.ashesofcreation.wiki/Fréttinga
Once a language is known, the extension will automatically locate and apply the correct translations for that language.
- If translated templates, titles or headings don't exist for that language, they will fall back to a compatible language.
- If the fallback language can't be found, the extension will default to English, which is the base language of the wiki.
Language selection happens at the lowest level. For example: If every template exists for the user's language except one, then only that missing template will fall back.
