Template:Import/doc
| This is a documentation subpage for Template:Import. It contains usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page. |
Background
This template is used to mark articles that are better in a foreign-language Wikipedia than in English Wikipedia, and thus should be translated from that language into English.
Usage
To mark an article, tag it with {{Import|language}}.
For example, {{Import|French}} generates:
This article may be expanded with text translated from a corresponding article in another language. Click [show] for important translation instructions.

| Editors can experiment in this template's sandbox (create | mirror) and testcases (create) pages. Please add categories to the /doc subpage. Subpages of this template. |
A bot will be along shortly to add the correct interwiki link to the template, which will also add a Google translation link if Google is able to translate the relevant language. If you'd like to speed the process up, you can tag the article with {{Translate|language|article=articletitle}} instead. After the article parameter is added, the template will look like:
This article may be expanded with text translated from a corresponding article in another language. Click [show] for important translation instructions.
