Category:Non-English welcome messages

These templates (each of which should be named welcomeen-xx, where xx is a two-letter language code) are welcome messages for users who are creating or editing articles in poor English, and whose native language is known or can be guessed with reasonable confidence. (If the user has been writing articles in another language, one of the templates on Category:Non-English user warning templates should be used instead.)

Each translation should start with  xx , where xx is the language code and Language is the name of the language in English, followed by a translation of that. For example, adding  ja  to a user's page would result in:

""

followed by the same text in Japanese. It can thus be read by both the user and any English-speaking reader.

Be sure to use subst: to import the English template, to ensure that the English and non-English texts always match. Also, note that only the English template takes parameters; the language name and code should be hard-coded in others.
