Adding a new language
editThis 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-mr/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-mr/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.
