<translate>
The boxes are neatly stacked along the right side of the page by default, but you can suppress the floating and header by wrapping it in the <tt>babel-plain</tt> class. For example:
+
<!--T:18-->
<pre>
+
To remove the header and footer, use <tvar|code><code>plain=1</code></> as the first parameter, e.g. <tvar|plain><code><nowiki>{{#babel:plain=1|sv-N|zh-3|de-1}}</nowiki></code></>. This makes it easier to use with other userboxes.
{{babel-plain|en-N|fr-3|az-0}}
 
-or-
 
<div class="babel-plain">{{#babel:en-N|fr-3|az-0}}</div>
 
</pre>
 
{{babel-plain|en-N|fr-3|az-0}}
 
 
 
This only works on Metawiki, due to its [[MediaWiki:Common.css|custom CSS]].

User language boxes list the languages a Wikimedia editor is comfortable communicating in, and their proficiency. This improves communication across the diverse community, both directly and by helping find interpreters and translators.

Usage

Babel user information
ru-N Русскийродной язык этого участника.
en-5 This user has professional knowledge of English.
fr-1 Cet utilisateur dispose de connaissances de base en français.
Users by language

You can add user information to your user page by inserting code like this:

{{#babel:ru-N|en-5|fr-1}}

This outputs the boxes you see at right. You can add as many languages as you want, in the form language code-proficiency level.

Language code
The extension recognizes standard ISO 639 (1–3) language codes. You can find your language by searching the list of ISO 639-1 codes or a database of ISO 639 1–3 codes.
Proficiency
The proficiency describes how well you can communicate in the language. It's indicated by a single character from the Proficiency column in the table below:
Proficiency Meaning
0 You don't understand the language at all.
1 You can understand written material or simple questions.
2 You can edit simple texts or participate in basic discussions.
3 You can write in this language with some minor errors.
4 You can speak like a native speaker (though it's not your birth language).
5 You have professional proficiency; you understand the nuances of the language well enough to translate advanced documents.
N You are a native speaker of the language and have a thorough grasp of it, including colloquialisms and idioms.

To remove the header and footer, use plain=1 as the first parameter, e.g. {{#babel:plain=1|sv-N|zh-3|de-1}}. This makes it easier to use with other userboxes.
