| Recommended use at | Categories, galleries | File description pages (deprecated, can be safely replaced by {{Multilingual description}}) | Small templates, whenever the previous options are not suitable (removes the visual indication of the language before each translated text) | Data tables with translated cells or larger templates, when used on pages that do not have language subpages (e.g. not having Main page/en, Main page/de) and where the language displayed will be automatically determined by the language set in user preferences

| Requires JavaScript enabled for folding | Yes | No | |||
| Folding can be disabled by user | Yes | No | |||
| Folding is done server-side | No | Yes | |||
| Folding when at least n languages are provided | 1 (all translations are shown without folding if the preferred language selected by the user has no matching translation) | 4 | 1 | ||

As provided by the user in the wikitext (any inconsistent order may be difficult to lookup visually) | N/A | ||
| Search indexing issues | No (all translations are included on the same page, however search results may be less relevant with many languages mixed) | Yes (may not index all languages depending on search engines, unless there's a list of links for visiting other languages) | Partially (where used; language subpages of templates are indexed) | No (translated pages should include a <languages/> navigation bar for visiting other languages)
| |
| Page size issues | Yes (may exhaust size or time limits in the wiki parser if many languages are included; larger pages to download for all visitors; slower navigation for visitors with slow Internet access; may be costly for visitors with limited data plans) | No (only the content for the selected language or a suitable fallback language is present in the generated page) | |||
| Contains expensive parser functions | No | Yes (unless there's an editable /lang subpage listing all the existing translations selected with a {{LangSwitch}})

Documentation
The above is what this template creates if the name of this page was Template:En. When transcluded, {{PAGENAME}} is used to generate the name of the language either by using {{#language:}} or a language specific template like the English one {{Language}}. It's a quick way to add documentation to internationalization templates, specifically the language ones like {{Es}} and {{De}} that use {{Description}}. If a translation exists in the local language, this will be placed before the English version. See {{Fr}} for an example.
Only the English and the local language's documentation (if exists) show up default. Up to 8 other translations can be added (these will be in the order specified underneath the local and English translations. For example: {{internationalization template doc|de|es|fr|ja|...}}
Add the following immediately after the template; do not start a new line:
<noinclude>{{internationalization template doc}}</noinclude>
This will also categorize the template into Category:Language templates and Category:Commons-ISO_code if it exists. The latter can be changed or removed using localcat= followed by one or more completely linked category, sortkey included, such as:
<noinclude>{{internationalization template doc|localcat=[[Category:Foo|{{PAGENAME}}]][[Category:Bar|{{PAGENAME}}]]}}</noinclude>
Adding translations
There's not much to translate here. Just copy and paste the following, translate the English parts, and save. It will create a template loop, but that's ok since they'll work right when called by this template (they shouldn't be used or viewed directly). There's no /lang page to edit. The 'inline' must stay the same, the "yes" can be whatever.
