[edit] Babel elements
Each Babel user infobox describes the language group and level of proficiency the user has, and a brief description in both the language of the Wikinews edition and language in question.
Languages are grouped according to the ISO 639-1 2-letter code (a list of ISO 639 codes, both 2 and 3 letter, is available.) This may be updated to rfc:3066, which uses both a language code and a country code.
Proficiencies are added to the language code according to the following list:
- 1. Basic proficiency. The user is able to understand basic sentences, and answer simple common questions.
- 2. Intermediate proficiency. The user has a larger vocabulary, and is able to understand more complex communication.
- 3. Advanced proficiency. The user is able to communicate fluently in the language.
- N. Native language. This is the user's primary language, the language of xyr birth and development family and culture.
For example, de-1 refers to a person with basic skills in the German language, and fr-3 indicates a person with advanced proficiency in French.
Above is an example of Babel infobox usage.
[edit] Usage
Templates are listed below alphabetically by ISO 639 code. To use a Babel infobox on your user page, edit your userpage and add a copy of it by adding {{subst:User:Amgine/Babel/XX-Y}} on your user page where you would like the box to appear (replacing XX with the 2-character language code, and the Y with the level of proficiency), and save. The complete code to create the box will be added to your userpage, and will appear.
Each box includes a link to the appropriate Wikinews:Translators/Language-X page, so people may now locate you for help from that page. If you're especially interested in volunteering to help with translations, add your name to the list on that page.
[edit] Multiple languages
Many—even most—users interested in language userboxes speak more than one language, and are interested in volunteering to serve as a language reference in more than just one language. The boxes below may be used with the following standard syntax:
- {{subst:User:Amgine/Babel/Box Z|XX-Y...}}
Where Z is the number of languages the user would like to list, and XX-Y is first language/proficiency to be listed. Repeat the vertical pipe and a different XX-Y for each language to be listed. After saving, you will need to go back in and subst: each of the language userboxes as well; an easy substitution.
