General usage

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.

Here is an example of how this template should be used. This code:

{{Multilang profile
|type=website
|Eng=Mario is always ready to help a friend, take on a new challenge, or jump on a Koopa's head!
|FreA=Mario est toujours prêt à aider un ami, relever un nouveau défi, ou sauter sur la tête d'un Koopa!
|PorA=Mario está sempre pronto para ajudar alguém, enfrentar novos desafios e dar uma pisada em um Koopa!
|SpaA=Mario siempre está listo para ayudar a un amigo, enfrentar un nuevo reto o ¡incluso saltar sobre la cabeza de un Koopa!
}}

produces the following content (without the separation lines):


  • Website description:
    • English:
      Mario is always ready to help a friend, take on a new challenge, or jump on a Koopa's head!
    • French (Canada):
      Mario est toujours prêt à aider un ami, relever un nouveau défi, ou sauter sur la tête d'un Koopa!
    • Portuguese (Brazil):
      Mario está sempre pronto para ajudar alguém, enfrentar novos desafios e dar uma pisada em um Koopa!
    • Spanish (Latin America):
      Mario siempre está listo para ayudar a un amigo, enfrentar un nuevo reto o ¡incluso saltar sobre la cabeza de un Koopa!

Notes
  • 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".
  • If the list of descriptions gets huge (even if it's split across columns), you can make it collapsible. Just add a collapse parameter and set its value to "1".

Supported languages

The following languages are accompanied by their respective parameters for this template.

  • Eng English
  • EngA American English
  • EngE British English
  • Jap Japanese
  • ChiS Simplified Chinese
  • ChiT Traditional Chinese
  • Cze Czech
  • Dut Dutch
  • Fre French
  • FreA French (Canada)
  • FreE French (Europe)
  • Ger German
  • Hun Hungarian
  • Ita Italian
  • Kor Korean
  • Pol Polish
  • Por Portuguese
  • PorA Portuguese (Brazil)
  • PorE Portuguese (Portugal)
  • Rus Russian
  • Svk Slovak
  • Spa Spanish
  • SpaA Spanish (Latin America)
  • SpaE Spanish (Europe)
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.
  • Similarly, the template provides a parameter that allows you to add romanizations of descriptions that are not originally written with Latin script. The parameter is written the same as your chosen language parameter plus the letter "R" (for "romanization"). For instance, the romanization parameter for Jap is JapR.
  • 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
game The game itself
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 with something other than the above values, the template will simply display whatever you typed in this parameter. If you don't fill the parameter with anything, nothing will be displayed above the descriptions.
