Non-English
[සංස්කරණය]Used for a user who is creating or editing articles in poor English, and whose native language is known or can be guessed with reasonable confidence. (If the user has been writing articles in another language, one of the templates on Category:Non-English user warning templates should be used instead.)
Use this template to welcome the user, substituting in the language code, such as 'fr' for French, or 'de' for German:
- {{subst:welcome-foreign}}
The welcome will be issued in two languages: English, and the user's language, if the lang code corresponds to any of the following: Albanian, Chinese, Dutch, Farsi, Finnish, French, German, Hausa, Hebrew, Hindi, Japanese, Korean, Malayalam, Marathi, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish, Swedish, Turkish, Ukrainian, Urdu, Vietnamese.
If the lang code corresponds to a language not shown above, the welcome message is issued in English only. Text for any language with a Wikipedia project may be easily added to a subpage, and the template will pick it up automatically; see the /doc page for instructions.
