How to create a new daughter template using this template

{{Expand language
|langcode=
|otherarticle={{{1|}}}
|date={{{date|}}}
|fa={{{fa|}}}
|topic=
|nodoc={{{nodoc|}}}
|no interwiki={{{no interwiki|}}}
}}

Example for Spanish (see {{Expand Spanish}}):

{{Expand language
|langcode=es
|otherarticle={{{1|}}}
|date={{{date|}}}
|fa={{{fa|}}}
|topic={{{topic|}}}
}}

Uncommon override parameters:

|googlelangcode= <!--for where Google's language translation code is not the same as the Wikipedia language translation code-->

(Currently only use in Template:Expand Norwegian (Nynorsk) )

What else needs to be done after you set up the template

For all of these steps, replace XXXX with the name of the language you just created.

1. Create a template documentation page.

This is easy. Just go to Template:Expand XXXX/doc. There, you should paste {{Expand language/howto|XXXX}}.

2. Set up the category where articles to be translated will go.

Go to Category:Articles needing translation from XXXX Wikipedia. There, paste the following:

{{Transcat
|language=XXXX
|empty=y
}}
