This template is used to display multiple official descriptions for a subject in various languages. The descriptions added to the template should originate from different localizations of the same source.

Notes
  • You can add a translation for a particular non-English description using a translation parameter. This parameter is written the same as your chosen language parameter plus the letter "M" (for "meaning"). For instance, the translation parameter for Jap (Japanese) is JapM.
  • By default, the list of descriptions is split into two columns. To arrange the descriptions on a single column, add a columns parameter and set its value to "1".
  • To account for different localizations across regions with the same majority language, the template has parameters for language varieties, such as SpaA (Latin American Spanish) and SpaE (European Spanish). If a description is the exact same in all varieties of a language, simply use the parameter that doesn't differentiate between regions, e.g. Spa (Spanish). The same should be done if a description is localized in only one apparent language variety but the source doesn't specify the region of the variety, as is the case with Mario Kart Tour, whose Brazilian Portuguese localization is simply designated "Portuguese" in-game.

Type parameter

The type parameter can be set to one of several values to specify the origin of these descriptions at the top of the list:

General
Type Definition
website The official website of a game or some other work
manual The physical instruction booklet of a game
e-manual The electronic manual of a game
vc_3ds The electronic manual of a game released as part of the Virtual Console service on Nintendo 3DS
vc_wiiu The electronic manual of a game released as part of the Virtual Console service on Wii U
Mario Kart Tour
Type Definition
spotlight The Spotlight Shop section of the Shop in Mario Kart Tour
mii The Mii Racing Suit Shop section of the Shop in Mario Kart Tour
offer An in-game special offer from Mario Kart Tour

If you fill the type parameter in with something other than the above values, the template will simply display whatever you typed in this parameter.
