== Adding Language Definition Files to ''templateDetails.xml'' == <!--T:8-->

All language files must be declared in the ''templateDetails.xml'' file. This is done by adding two ''<nowiki><language></nowiki>'' elements for each language to be included with the template: one for the Frontend strings, the other for the Administrator Backend strings. For example, the two British English language files and the two German language files for the Beez template are declared as follows:

<syntaxhighlight lang="xml">
<?xml version=”1.0” encoding=”utf-8” ?>
<install version=”1.5” type=”template”>

     .........

    <languages>
        <language tag=”en-GB”>en-GB.tpl_beez.ini</language>
        <language tag=”de-DE”>de-DE.tpl_beez.ini</language>
    </languages>

     .........

    <administration>
        <languages folder=”admin”>
            <language tag=”en-GB”>en-GB.tpl_beez.ini</language>
            <language tag=”de-DE”>de-DE.tpl_beez.ini</language>
        </languages>
    </administration>

</install>
</syntaxhighlight>

Note that in the administration ''<nowiki><languages></nowiki>'' tag the ''folder'' attribute is used. This is because the language files for the Frontend and Backend have the same file names and so cannot exist in the same directory within the template package file. In this example, the administration language files have been placed in a sub-directory called ''admin'' to separate them from the Frontend language files.
