How to translate a wiki page into a different language

This wiki comes with several features that support multiple languages.

In your Preferences you can set the language for the wiki user interface. That translates all the templates that come with the empty wiki, but not the user created content.
Every page can exist in several languages, though it requires a user to translate the content and to keep it up to date with the main page. The main page is always English. If you start with a translated page, create an empty English page first.
TODO: There is way to add inline translations into a page, I just can't find the documentation for it.

Add {{Languages}} to the English page you want to translate. A good location is the end of the page.
Create a subpage with your language code. For example to translate this page called Wiki_Translation to German, I create a new page called Wiki_Translation/de.
Add your translated text to the page and put the {{Languages}} code in the same location.
