Forum:Add Language

How does one exacly add another language to a wiki to see everything in instead of english etc? The Emperor Zelos 21:07, April 13, 2010 (UTC)


 * I can't be sure of what you mean, so I'll answer based on both possible interpretations.
 * If you're referring to the language of the messages, sidebar, titles etc., you can't "add" another base language on top of the one that's there. You can however create a separate wiki and link both of them with interlanguage links.
 * On the other hand, you may be referring to multilingual wikis, wikis that have articles in multiple languages. This is possible, but I've never done this, so I'm can't help much in this regard. Try contacting an admin on Familypedia, which I know does do this. The 888th Avatar   (talk)  09:02, April 14, 2010 (UTC)


 * My apologises for being not exact enough. I mean like in klingon wikia where buttons etc are in Klingon rather than english

 * They customized MediaWiki:Monaco-sidebar &mdash; Balistic 23:30, April 14, 2010 (UTC)

not the side bar, all buttons around The Emperor Zelos 18:19, April 15, 2010 (UTC)
 * Since MediaWiki doesn't come in Klingon, they customized the system interface to add it. If you want to change the language you use across Wikia, go to Special:Preferences and select a different language. To change the wiki's language, contact staff. --Zapwire (talk/blog/edits) 18:47, April 15, 2010 (UTC)


 * There's a big list of all the MediaWiki messages which you can modify (and thus translate into something like Klingon) at Special:Allmessages. The 888th Avatar   (talk)  01:22, April 16, 2010 (UTC)
