Usage

Use this template to show which languages your speak - Include

{{Babel|en-4|de}}

in your User: page to get a two-language. Adjust languages appropriately.

If a given language (or level) is not yet available, create "Template:User xx-n" on this wiki and copy the content from the corresponding en.wikipedia template.

Levels

The -n denotes your proficiency in the languages, see Wikipedia:Babel/Levels for a detailed explanation.

  • xx-1 for basic ability - enough to understand written material or simple questions in this language.
  • xx-2 for intermediate ability - enough for editing or discussions.
  • xx-3 for advanced level - though you can write in this language with no problem, some small errors might occur.
  • xx-4 for 'near-native' level - although it's not your first language from birth, your ability is something like that of a native speaker.
  • xx-5 for professional proficiency. Note that this template is currently only available for a few languages.
  • xx (no hyphen or number) for native speakers who use a language every day and have a thorough grasp of it, including colloquialisms and idioms.
