Template:Welcomeen-id

Welcome![edit]

Hello, Welcomeen-id, and welcome to Wikipedia! While efforts to improve Wikipedia are always welcome, unfortunately your contributions are not written in an English that is good enough to be useful. You appear to be more familiar with Indonesian; did you know there is a Wikipedia in Indonesian? You may prefer to contribute there instead. In any case, welcome to the project, and thank you for your efforts! If you need help, please feel free to notify me on my talk page. ~~~~

Selamat datang![edit]

Halo, Welcomeen-id, dan selamat datang di Wikipedia! Walaupun upaya untuk meningkatkan kualitas Wikipedia selalu menyambut, sayang sekali kontribusi Anda tidak tertulis dalam bahasa Inggris yang cukup untuk berguna. Anda mungkin lebih lazim dengan bahasa Indonesia; tahukah Anda bahwa ada Wikipedia dalam bahasa Indonesia? Anda mungkin lebih memilih untuk berkontribusi di sana. Setidaknya, selamat datang di Wikipedia dan terima kasih untuk upaya Anda! Jika Anda perlu bantuan, Anda bisa memberitahu saya di halaman pembicaraan saya. ~~~~

Template documentation

This template should always be substituted (i.e., use {{subst:Welcomeen-id}}).

This welcome template may be used to welcome a user whose edits appear to show poor command of English (or whose edits are not in English at all) and who appear to be fluent in Indonesian. It presents a brief welcome message in English, followed by an equivalent one in Indonesian.

Usage[edit]

{{subst:Welcome-foreign|lang=id}} # where 'xx' is a language code
{{subst:Welcome-foreign|id}} # same as above

Parameters[edit]

There is one required parameter, the named param |lang= (alias: positional |1=):

|lang= – a language code; e.g., 'fr' for French, or 'es' for Spanish (see language code table)
|1= – same as above

Example[edit]

{{subst:Welcome-foreign|id}} gives:

Welcome![edit]

Selamat datang![edit]

Adding a new language[edit]

This template will work for any language listed in the language code table. The welcome will be issued in two languages: English, and the user's language, if the lang code corresponds to a language for which a language subpage exists. So, Albanian, Chinese, Dutch, and so on, because the subpages Albanian, Chinese, and Dutch exist. For valid lang codes corresponding to a language that doesn't have a subpage, the welcome is issued in English only.

To update the list, simply add a new subpage with the language name from the table. In particular, the language name should correspond to the value of {{#language:xx|en}} where 'xx' is the language code (so, chr → 'Cherokee', fa → 'Persian', and so on). Translate the content of Template:Welcome-foreign/English into the new language, and save it as Template:Welcomeen-id/NewLanguage. The template code does not need to be changed, and will pick it up automatically.

Suggestion: save early versions of your translation as Template:Welcomeen-id/NewLanguage (draft) until you're certain it's correct. As soon as the file exists under the correct name, it is seen by the template and goes live.
