Anchor Links

Anything after the pagename#, for example pagename#Anchor Link is anchor link. English versions of pages might contain:

[[Template#Frontend Templates|Frontend Templates]]

For the French Translation, it becomes:

[[S:MyLanguage/Template/fr#Les Templates de Site (Frontend)|les templates de site Frontend]]

Example in French: {{tip|title=Astuce| texte à traduire ici}}

Result:

Astuce

Wikipedia Links

When there is a Wikipedia link on the English version of an article, and if this wikipedia article is available in your language, please "translate" the wikipedia link by replacing wikipedia by yourlanguagecode.wp and by replacing the alias by the alias in your language.

Currently, this feature is enable for these language codes: bg (Bulgarian) - da (Danish) - de (German) - es (Spanish) - fr (French) - id (Indonesian) - nl (Dutch) - sw (Swahili) - pt-br (Portuguese Brazil) - pt (Portuguese) - ru (Russian) - af (Afrikaans) - ca (Catalan). If your language is missing, please contact us.

For the French version:

[[fr.wp:Onglet_(informatique)|onglets de navigation]]

For the Spanish version:

[[es.wp:Pestaña_(informática)|Navegación por pestañas]]

For the Nederland version:

[[nl.wp:Tabblad|Tabblad]]
