Welcome!
[edit]Hello, Welcomeen-fr, and welcome to Wikipedia! While efforts to improve Wikipedia are always welcome, unfortunately your contributions are not written in an English that is good enough to be useful. You appear to be more familiar with French; did you know there is a Wikipedia in French? You may prefer to contribute there instead. In any case, welcome to the project, and thank you for your efforts! If you need help, please feel free to notify me on my talk page. ~~~~
Bienvenue!
[edit]Bonjour, Welcomeen-fr, et bienvenue sur Wikipédia. Les efforts pour améliorer Wikipédia sont toujours les bienvenus ; malheureusement, vos contributions ne sont pas rédigées dans un anglais suffisamment bon pour être utiles, ou alors ne sont pas rédigées en anglais du tout.

En tout cas, bienvenue sur Wikipedia, et merci pour vos efforts ! Si vous avez besoin d'aide, n'hésitez pas à me contacter sur ma page de discussion. Merci, ~~~~

[edit]¡Hola Welcomeen-fr, bienvenido a Wikipedia! Si bien todos los esfuerzos para mejorar la Wikipedia son bien recibidos, desdichadamente su nivel de inglés no parece idóneo para hacer contribuciones de utilidad, o las contribuciones no estan escritas en inglés. ¿Sabía que existe una Wikipedia en español? Quizás prefiera contribuir ahí. De cualquiera forma, reciba la más cordial bienvenida a Wikipedia y nuestro agradecimiento por esforzarse. Si necesita ayuda, puede notificármelo en mi página de discusión. ~~~~
Adding a new language
[edit]This template will work for any language listed in the language code table. The welcome will be issued in two languages: English, and the user's language, if the lang code corresponds to a language for which a language subpage exists. So, Albanian, Chinese, Dutch, and so on, because the subpages Albanian, Chinese, and Dutch exist. For valid lang codes corresponding to a language that doesn't have a subpage, the welcome is issued in English only.
To update the list, simply add a new subpage with the language name from the table. In particular, the language name should correspond to the value of {{#language:xx|en}} where 'xx' is the language code (so, chr → 'Cherokee', fa → 'Persian', and so on). Translate the content of Template:Welcome-foreign/English into the new language, and save it as Template:Welcomeen-fr/NewLanguage. The template code does not need to be changed, and will pick it up automatically.
Suggestion: save early versions of your translation as Template:Welcomeen-fr/NewLanguage (draft) until you're certain it's correct. As soon as the file exists under the correct name, it is seen by the template and goes live.
Also consider creating a wrapper template for the new language; you can use Template:Welcomeen-fr as an example.
