== How to convert a template ==
Before you apply this template, first you have to prepare the template.

=== Pick a template ===
—See for example [http://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Template:Cc-by-1.0&oldid=12667239 Template:Cc-by-1.0 before changes]. 
First you have to pick a template to autotranslate. 
''In this documentation, we will name our "selected template" as:'' <code>Template:<var>Template name</var></code>
*See [[Commons:Template i18n]] for a list of templates needing translation or translated.

=== Create a layout template ===
—See for example [[Template:Apache/layout]]. 
You must create a layout template, named <code>Template:<var>Template name</var>/layout</code>, to contain the layout of all language versions of the template. The easiest way to do this is to copy a layout template of a similar template. 
This template should not add any categories when transcluded.

=== Convert existing language versions ===
—See for example [[Template:Apache/en]]. 
All versions must be subpages of <code>Template:<var>Template name</var></code>, and his name must use the appropriate prefix, [[m:List_of_Wikipedias|as used on Wikipedia]] when adding a new language –ISO 639 language code–. For example, Spanish subpage must be named <code>Template:<var>Template name</var>/es</code> Usually the English language link to the main template –<code>Template:<var>Template name</var></code>–. That is incorrect, point it to the <code>Template:<var>Template name</var>/en</code> subpage.

Each language version of the template should be checked and converted to use the layout template –<code>Template:<var>Template name</var>/layout</code>–. Start with the English language version and compare it to the current template.

Note that everything that is not supposed to be included together with the template, like <code><nowiki>{{translated tag|cleanup}}</nowiki></code> or <code><nowiki>{{documentation}}</nowiki></code>, must be inside a <code><noinclude></code> tag.

Here is the syntax you must use for <code>Template:<var>Template name</var>/<<var>prefix</var>></code>.
<nowiki>{{</nowiki><code><var>Template name</var>/layout</code>
|text=<''translated text of the template''>
|lang=<''prefix''>
<nowiki>}}<noinclude>
{{translated tag|license}}
</noinclude></nowiki>

=== Create a documentation page ===
—See for example [[Template:Apache/doc]]. 
Create a documentation page at <code>Template:<var>Template name</var>/doc</code>. This documentation page should include some code for creating language versions of the template. {{tl|TemplateBox}} has a <tt>|il8n=autotranslate</tt> option which provides a standard explanation of how to localise an autotranslated template.

=== Convert the main template ===
—See for example [[Template:Apache]]. 
The last step is to enable the template. Be sure to check everything before you enable the template. You can cause a really big mess!
To enable the template, put this code in the template –<code>Template:<var>Template name</var></code>–.
<nowiki>{{Autotranslate|1={{{1|}}}|2={{{2|}}}|3={{{3|}}}|</nowiki>base=<var>template name</var>}}
