Where enabled, interlanguage links can be used to link between the same page in different languages. For instance, the page on "Yoda" in the many different versions of the Star Wars wikis can be connected this way. These language links are specialized form of interwiki links.

Interlanguage links are not enabled by default on multilingual Wikia, because the "same" projects in different languages can have very different domain names and database names and must be enabled manually.

If you need interlanguage links on your Wikia, please make a request on Central Wikia at the Interlanguage link requests page.

Once the links are setup, pages may need to be resaved before the interlanguage links will begin working.

Usage Edit

The basic syntax is [[language code:page title]]. For example, the code [[zh:首頁]] creates a link to 首頁, with the link text "中文" ("Chinese" written in Chinese).

The linking code may be placed anywhere in the edit box, but they are most commonly collected at the bottom of the page.

Unlike interwiki links, which appear inline, interlanguage links appear in an "other languages" list below the main toolboxes on the left, in the default Wikia skin. (The list may display differently in older skins.)

To place an interlanguage link inline, in the text of an article page, without creating an actual link to a page in the another language section, put a colon before the language code. For example, [[:zh:首頁]].
