The reason why there's an HTML TABLE (instead of a wiki table) was because when a sub-page containing '|' characters was included, they were interpreted / parsed as table cell parameters, resulting in the first 'translated page' lost... or interpreted as invalid cell parameters.
Switching to an html table solved the problem.
-->[[Category:Template]]
The intent of this template is to mimic the inverse of the [[Template:Translation]] (which is geared towards the ''translated'' page) by having a template to be placed in the ''original'' pages while preserving the capability to navigate all the translations.
'''NOTE:''' When [[translating]] (or updating a translated page) you '''MUST''' update the ''<tt>version</tt>'' number of the [[Template:Translation|<tt><nowiki>{{Translation ... version = xxxxx ... }}</nowiki></tt>]]—with the value reported on the far right: '''<tt>[ID# {{REVISIONID}}]</tt>''' by this template in the ''<tt>source</tt>'' page. This will allow exact comparissons between the current version and the version originally translated or last updated.
== Usage ==
If no argument is provided, the sub-page <tt>currentPage/translations</tt> will be included. This page should be as simple as possible, and is currently being used as a sequence of links displayed not by their title, but by the short language names (in their own respective language) separated by '|'.
<nowiki>{{Translations}}</nowiki>
Could result in a line with several links (although one should be the '''''original page''''') each pointing to a translated version of the current ''original'' page. ie:
english | español | português
== Not recommended usage ==
If an argument is provided, it should be a fully set of wiki links with their display. Unfortunately, '|' is used as parameter delimeter and thus needs to be escaped. A solution is to use &#124; | or some other (discrete) separator (ie: , - /)
