You can find ILLs at the top of pages, just to the upper right of the Edit button.
ILLs are also at the bottom of article pages. Note that languages are given their native names, not their name in your language.
An interlanguage link or ILL is a small navigational aide that connects the current article to the same topic in another language. So that they are easily discoverable, they exist in the same places on every wiki in the FANDOM network. That way, if you're reading the English article on Star Trek's Uhura, you know where to look for the link to the Spanish version.
Setup
Interlanguage links are not created by default on multilingual wikis, because the "same" projects in different languages can have very different domain names and database names and must be enabled manually.
If you need interlanguage links on your wiki, please make a request on Community Central at the Interlanguage link requests page.
Once the links are set up, cache may need to be purged before the interlanguage links start working.
Usage
The basic syntax is [[language code:page title]]. For example, the code [[zh:首頁]] creates a link to 首頁, with the link text “中文” ("Chinese" written in Chinese).
The linking code may be placed anywhere in the edit box, but they are most commonly collected at the bottom of the page.
Unlike interwiki links, which appear inline, interlanguage links appear in the "Languages" list below the main content area of a page under the categories.
To place an interlanguage link in the text of an article page without creating an actual link to a page in the "Languages" section, put a colon before the language code. For example, [[:es:Ayuda:Interlenguajes]] which will look like this when the page is saved: es:Ayuda:Enlaces interlingüísticos.
