Hello, I am a person who want to translate articles in this wiki (as not only a Japanese helper but also one user of Dev wiki).

There are some suggestion to i18n.
 * 1) Using Template:LangSelect in basepage.
 * We can see our own language page (if it exists) without clicking the link of your language name even if your language is not English.
 * Example


 * EN: http://dev.wikia.com/wiki/rollback?uselang=en
 * RU: http://dev.wikia.com/wiki/rollback?uselang=ru


 * 2) Using Template:LangSwitch to make i18n templates.
 * Example


 * EN: http://dev.wikia.com/wiki/Template:Personal?uselang=en
 * RU: http://dev.wikia.com/wiki/Template:Personal?uselang=ru


 * 3) Making PAGENAME/base as a template to translate the page.
 * I would like to ask which do you think is better, making PAGENAME/base or not to translate.
 * Making /base template page (in article namespace) is so troublesome and maybe it doesn’t seem nice for English-only users.
 * But making the /base page can keep newest information in all translated pages (even though some information would be shown in English).
 * Example


 * There was no information about “Notes” section in http://dev.wikia.com/wiki/Rollback/es because English page was updated. But you can see the information in English.


 * 4) Which do you think is better to translate templates in Dev wiki?
 * (1) http://dev.wikia.com/wiki/Template:Script_Install?uselang=ru
 * => translations are in Template:Script_Install itself
 * (2) http://dev.wikia.com/wiki/Template:ImportArticles?uselang=ru
 * => making Template:ImportArticles/xx like http://dev.wikia.com/wiki/Template:ImportArticles/ru


 * 5) I heard there is a nice template to i18n.
 * Template:Infobox_JavaScript/fng
 * See also: User_talk:Plover-Y


 * Technical info:
 * MediaWiki:Lang/xx mediawiki pages should be added to use some i18n templates in all languages.
 * There is a list what we haven’t been able to use in Fandom but nice references to i18n.
