Template talk:Language


 * Start off with  {{Language- 
 * Then add the number of language templates you want to display, followed by |
 * e.g.  {{Language-3|  for three languages
 * Next add one of the following codes for each language you speak, separated by |, where xx is the YPPedia code for the language:
 * xx-1 for basic command (the ability to understand the language well enough to use an article as a source for writings in one's own language and to ask or answer simple questions)
 * xx-2 ability to modify articles and to participate in discussions
 * xx-3 for advanced or fluent understanding (the ability to write articles in this language without difficulties, minor errors may occur)
 * xx-4 if you have a grasp of the language comparable to a native speaker, but are not a native speaker
 * xx if you're a native speaker
 * Then finish by adding closing braces:  }} 

So, for example,  {{Language-2|en|de-1}}  would indicate a native speaker of English with basic knowledge of German.  {{Language-4|zh|en-3|fr-2|es-1}}  would indicate a native speaker of Chinese with an advanced knowledge of English, an intermediate knowledge of French, and a basic knowledge of Spanish.
