If you wish to write an article in a language other than English, first create the root article and then use the appropriate [[#Language Codes|language code]] to create the article in the language of your choice.  For example, if you want to create an article about the [[Iglesia Evangélica Menonita de Guatemala]] in Spanish, first create the English root page.  On that page insert the following [[:Template:stub|"stub" template]], to alert future editors to the fact that the English version is incomplete.  Next, create a new page for the Spanish translation by attaching the Spanish language code (/es) to the root page title.  For example, if you used the "Iglesia Evangélica Menonita de Guatemala" format to create the root page you will use "Iglesia Evangélica Menonita de Guatemala/es" to create the Spanish translation page.  (To create links for the same article in other languages use the following format; French: "Iglesia Evangélica Menonita de Guatemala/fr", German: "Iglesia Evangélica Menonita de Guatemala/de".  Regardless of the fact that root articles are written in English, root article names are written in the native language of the specific congregation or group (In other words, the title for the [[Iglesia Evangélica Menonita de Guatemala]] article is "Iglesia Evangélica Menonita de Guatemala," not "Guatemalan Evangelical Mennonite Church").  To learn more about language codes, see the language code section [[#Language Codes|below]].
