Steps

To read the wiki in another language:

  1. Open the Drawer menu.
  2. Click the "Languages" selector.

  3. Click the language you want to use.
  4. Check the result: the interface and every Page translated into that language are now displayed in it.

FAQ

Why am I not seeing the "Languages" selector in the drawer menu?

It is probably because your administrator hasn't set the wiki to be multilingual.

Why does the selector offer only one language?

Because it offers only the languages the Page you are on is translated into, so a Page with no translation shows a single "Default Language" entry.

Does my choice affect the other users?

No, it applies to your browser only, which keeps it until you choose another language.

Which language is used before I choose one?

The one your browser asks for, when the wiki supports it, and otherwise the default language set by your administrator.

Can I force a language through the URL?

Yes, add language=<2-letter language code> to the URL; language=default restores the wiki's default language.
