Template edit information: * Dismissed: TITLE="Magyar (Hungarian)" hu - Probably no intended ride(s) at Budapest took place, none recently proposed TITLE="עברית (Hebrew)" iw - No intended ride(s) at Tel Aviv took place, none recently proposed TITLE="Latviešu (Latvian)" lv - Probably no intended ride(s) at Riga took place, none recently proposed TITLE="Polski (Polish)" pl - Probably no intended ride(s) at Krakau took place, none recently proposed TITLE="Svenska (Swedish)" sv - No solicited ride(s) at Stockholm took place, none recently proposed * Maintenance: Each language starts with its TITLE="<language name>" line and ends immediately above such of the next language: Easy to copy/paste, replace that <language name> and on each of the following 4 lines replace the quickly spotted language code with the one of the new language. In the series of language blocks, only the very first one starts with '--LANG#1--><span ' instead of '-->| <span ' and all end with '</span><!--' * Google syntax: - to translate a web page: http://translate.google.com/translate?u=URL&sl=FROMLANG&tl=TOLANG - to allow user (editor) pasting or typing a to be translated text: 1) works when manually entered in a browser, but fails to set proper languages when launched from a linking page (until the user sets the cursor in the browser address bar behind this passed on url and presses Enter): translate.google.com#FROMLANG|TOLANG or translate.google.com/#FROMLANG|TOLANG 2) http://translate.google.com/translate?sl=FROMLANG&tl=TOLANG

The language codes recognized by the Google Translate application, generally follow the ISO 639-1 standard (e.g. 'en' for English), for only a few special cases with a region identifier suffix (e.g. 'zh-CN' and 'zh-TW') — see Google's list of Web Interface Language Codes.

This template lists only languages of considerable international importance, and the ones of locations where a ride ever took place (or recently became proposed). Merely pointing at a code in the series, shows the relevant language name written in that language (and in English); a click on either of its 3 tiny items, launches the proper translator.

Calling the template from near the top of (or elsewhere in) a page, facilitates its translation, or such of a to be copy/pasted section. The  from  link ■ of one's native language may assist editing a page written in another language. Syntax:
1) {{Google translation link}} which assumes an 'en' page (i.e. the calling page is at least partially written in English)
2) {{Google translation link|xx}} in which 'xx' is to be the ISO 639-1 code (exceptionally with regional suffix) of the (or a) language in the calling page. It does not need to be one of the template, which thus allows easily preparing a ride at a new location of which Google recognizes the code for whatever local language.
