 `pagename.$LANG`, where `$LANG` is a ISO639-1 (two-letter) language code.
 To enable linguas, add the following line in the source code of the page:

 Note that linguas is only required in one of the pages (the original,
 for instance); the rest of translations will be automatically

 * Wiki links to other translated pages require the full page name
 including the `.$LANG`. It should be possible to link automatically
 to pages with the same `.$LANG`, but that would probably require some
 changes in IkiWiki. (I'm not sure though, I still haven't looked at
 it... any hints?)

-Examples

-* [Linguas](http://wiki.ettin.org/linguas.en.html). A page with the same
-content than this one.
-
-* [Hello in some languages](http://wiki.ettin.org/hello/hello.en.html). The
-translations were taken from [Hello in many
-languages](http://www.omniglot.com/language/phrases/hello.htm) and from
-the [Debian](http://www.debian.org/) website.
