Template talk:Languages
(First topic)
There is an error with this template. If en_us is not included, there will be a blank space on top of the other languages.--Platform (talk) 14:43, November 1, 2022 (EDT)
Mario Movie requires new languages to be added.
Quote "template does not currently support listings for Armenian, Catalan, Georgian, Macedonian, or Vietnamese languages. Romanian listing uses wrong ISO code."
The page has those languages already in the "names in other languages" section but they dont display yet.

- I don't think the languages in the template are necessarily intended to be represented with ISO codes, but with whatever abbreviation of that language's name is most intuitive to use. Serbian and Lithuanian parameters aren't written in ISO format either; the exceptions seem to be Slovak and Slovenian's parameters, which I assume is the case because both start with "slo". -- KOOPA CON CARNE 22:25, April 6, 2023 (EDT)
Native Language Names
I see that this has been changed to have the native language name be the default. I would have no issue with this other than the fact that the "in other languages" box at the bottom lists the languages all with their English names. I think we should be consistent with that and also have the language names in English here too. Zachruff (talk) 18:00, November 20, 2023 (EST)

I've seen that the language order is different in the documentation compared to what you see in the game infobox or later in the page. Which I think makes it look inconsistent. This proposal aims to avoid this inconsistency, so the order used for the game infobox correctly matches the documentation.

Documentation Language Order
- Yoshi18 (talk) Per proposal.
- EvieMaybe (talk) it's basically just English (the wiki's language), Japanese (the franchise's language of origin), then alphabetical from there. makes perfect sense, and matches the "names in other languages" template.
- Jdtendo (talk) Per EvieMaybe.
- CarlosYoshiBoi (talk) I suggest listing languages in alphabetical order in the game language box:
- Chinese (Simplified)
- Chinese (Traditional)
- Dutch
- English
- English (United Kingdom)
- English (United States)
- French
- French (Canada)
- French (France)
- German
- Italian
- Japanese
- Korean
- Portuguese
- Portuguese (Brazil)
- Portuguese (Portugal)
- Russian
- Spanish
- Spanish (Latin America)
- Spanish (Spain)
Current Language Order
- YoYo (talk) Per my comment
- RickTommy (talk) I personally think that this template and the Names in Other Languages template should be in age/importance order (Template talk:Foreign names#Order).
Language Ordered Comments
that literally is the exact same order the language template already uses, only with English included (which isn't used in articles since the article already is English) - YoYo

- You're probably confusing the {{Languages}} template (used in game infoboxes) with the {{Foreign names}} template (used for "Names in other languages" sections). Currently, the language order of the two templates don't match. Jdtendo(T|C) 07:09, May 8, 2025 (EDT)
- @YoYo This is not the order the template uses. Look at the documentation compared to the template on game pages like Super Mario Party Jamboree. Dutch is for example very noticeably lower in the list.

@CarlosYoshiBoi, just like in our documentation, we have to do the wiki language (English) first, then the country of the origin (Japan) and then on alphabetic order.

- @Yoshi18 I kinda meant for the language box when it comes to what languages games can be played in. CarlosYoshiBoi (talk) 19:24, May 8, 2025 (EDT)
