View source for Add a new language/id

<languages/>

Anda dapat merekam berbagai bahasa, dialek, atau ragam bahasa dengan Lingua Libre. Lingua Libre menggunakan item untuk menyimpan informasi bahasa dalam cara yang serupa dengan Wikidata. Semua bahasa yang telah ada ditulis pada [[Special:WhatLinksHere/Q4|halaman ini]].

If your language/dialect does not exist yet, you can create it by yourself. To do so, we have two options:
* ask to an administrator (this is the '''recommended way'''). You can find a list of the administrators [https://lingualibre.fr/wiki/Special:ListUsers?username=&group=sysop&wpsubmit=&wpFormIdentifier=mw-listusers-form&limit=50 here].
* create a new item by hand

{{Colapse|1=I know what I'm doing|2=So that, all labels filled on Wikidata, that contain the language name in several languages, will be imported. If you create a language by hand, you will have to translate the name of the language by yourself.
