This user language template renders the appropriate page display in the primary or 'mother' category of a specific language which is spoken by the people who edit (or have previously edited) this WikiIndex wiki site. It creates a standardised display, with uniform formatting, and appropriately targeted links (internal wikilinks here on WikiIndex, and external links by way of interwiki to the English Wikipedia). These specific categories are all part of category: Wiki people by language. This particular template has two (2) input requirements – immediately after {{UserLanguageCategory| . . .: both are compulsory; the second default no is acceptable, but the native translation is ideally preferred.

  • 1st — the two- or three- letter ISO 639 language code, (plus any sub-language letters, eg: en-gb, pt-br, zh-hk, zh-tw, etc); see template:Language and template:LanguageNames;
  • 2nd — native translation of 'The people in this category here on WikiIndex listed below speak (language)'; if no is entered, only the description in English will be displayed.
Usage

{{UserLanguageCategory|ISO 639 code|native language translation}}

  • two-input, one-language output example: {{UserLanguageCategory|es|no}}
which displays at the top of the category page:
The people in this category here on WikiIndex listed below speak Spanish.
  • two-input, two-language output example: {{UserLanguageCategory|sv|'''[[:Category:Wiki People|Personerna]]''' i denna [[Special:Categories|kategori]] här på WikiIndex listade nedan '''talar {{tag|Swedish|svenska}}'''}}
which displays at the top of the category page:
Personerna i denna kategori här på WikiIndex listade nedan talar svenska.
