As wikimedia has a need for translators for one language into an other I thougth it would be usefull to have a list of users who can speak more languages.

I added [[Category:Users {{{1}}} {{{2}}}|{{PAGENAME}}]] to Template:Babel-2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10


From now on all users using the Babel templates will be categorized on the top-2 languages, like

If these categories do not exist they can easily be created by adding

{{Babelmulti1|xx|yy}} <!-- languagues on alfabetical order -->


These category can be linked to Category:User en and Category:User fr via

If these categories do not exist they can easily be created by adding

{{Babelmulti2|xx|yy}} <!-- languagues on alfabetical order -->


See Special:Categories Users*


I use only the top-2 languages of a babel template, and only creating categories for Native languages and Advanced users. For smaller languages maybe the intermediate users could be added.

Users who have more languages as advanced speaker, users that have not filled their native language at the top or users that have substituted the babel templates can add their page to the categories involved directly by adding on or more lines like:
[[Category:Users xx yy-n]].
