Welcome!
[edit]Hello, Welcomeen-ko, and welcome to Wikipedia! While efforts to improve Wikipedia are always welcome, unfortunately your contributions are not written in an English that is good enough to be useful. You appear to be more familiar with Korean; did you know there is a Wikipedia in Korean? You may prefer to contribute there instead. In any case, welcome to the project, and thank you for your efforts! If you need help, please feel free to notify me on my talk page. ~~~~
안녕하세요, Welcomeen-ko님, 영어 위키백과에 방문하신 것을 환영합니다! 위키백과의 발전을 위해 힘써 주시는 것에 감사합니다. 그런데 Welcomeen-ko님께서 기여한 유용한 컨텐츠는 아쉽게도 영어로 작성되지 않았습니다. Welcomeen-ko님께서는 영어보다는 한국어가 훨씬 사용하기 편하다고 짐작됩니다. 혹시 한국어 위키백과에 대해서 알고 계십니까? 님께서는 여기 대신 그곳에서 기여하는 것이 편할 것 같습니다. 어떠한 경우라도 영어 위키백과를 방문한 것에 감사드리며, Welcomeen-ko님의 기여에 감사드립니다! ~~~~

¡Bienvenido!
[edit]¡Hola Welcomeen-ko, bienvenido a Wikipedia! Si bien todos los esfuerzos para mejorar la Wikipedia son bien recibidos, desdichadamente su nivel de inglés no parece idóneo para hacer contribuciones de utilidad, o las contribuciones no estan escritas en inglés. ¿Sabía que existe una Wikipedia en español? Quizás prefiera contribuir ahí. De cualquiera forma, reciba la más cordial bienvenida a Wikipedia y nuestro agradecimiento por esforzarse. Si necesita ayuda, puede notificármelo en mi página de discusión. ~~~~
Adding a new language
[edit]This template will work for any language listed in the language code table. The welcome will be issued in two languages: English, and the user's language, if the lang code corresponds to a language for which a language subpage exists. So, Albanian, Chinese, Dutch, and so on, because the subpages Albanian, Chinese, and Dutch exist. For valid lang codes corresponding to a language that doesn't have a subpage, the welcome is issued in English only.
To update the list, simply add a new subpage with the language name from the table. In particular, the language name should correspond to the value of {{#language:xx|en}} where 'xx' is the language code (so, chr → 'Cherokee', fa → 'Persian', and so on). Translate the content of Template:Welcome-foreign/English into the new language, and save it as Template:Welcomeen-ko/NewLanguage. The template code does not need to be changed, and will pick it up automatically.
Suggestion: save early versions of your translation as Template:Welcomeen-ko/NewLanguage (draft) until you're certain it's correct. As soon as the file exists under the correct name, it is seen by the template and goes live.
Also consider creating a wrapper template for the new language; you can use Template:Welcomeen-fr as an example.
