For tackling specific formatting issues in wikitext and how they interact with the translate tags, see [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Extension:Translate/Page_translation_administration#Markup_examples this guide on MediaWiki]. When translating a page that uses translatable templates, do not include them within the <code><nowiki><translate></nowiki></code> tags.

# When marking templates like the [[Template:Navbox]] for translation, it is important to consider the placement of the language & translation tags, since the whole template will be nestled inside other pages!
Templates should only be tagged and mark for translation when they are ''complete''. Make sure the <code><nowiki><languages /></nowiki></code> tag is '''outside''' of the part of the template marked for transclusion, i.e. the <code><nowiki><onlyinclude> ... </onlyinclude></nowiki></code> or <code><nowiki><includeonly> ... </includeonly></nowiki></code> part.
# Make sure to mark templates like this in the following way, nestled into <code><noinclude<nowiki/>></code> tags:
 
## The beginning of the page should show: <code><noinclude<nowiki/>></code><code><languages/<nowiki/>></code><code><translate<nowiki/>></code><code></noinclude<nowiki/>></code>
When you use a translated or translatable (i.e. tagged and marked for translation) template on any page, you '''must''' use the [[Template:Translatable template|Translatable template]] template instead! For example, if you wanted to use the <code><nowiki>{{Metals navbox}}</nowiki></code> template on a page, instead write it as <code><nowiki>{{Translatable template|Metals navbox}}</nowiki></code>. You can also use <code><nowiki>{{tnt|Metals navbox}}</nowiki></code> as a shorter version.
## The end of the page should show: <code><noinclude<nowiki/>></code><code></translate<nowiki/>></code><code></noinclude<nowiki/>></code>
 
# This ensures that the translate and language tags themselves do not appear on the page in which the template is used.
When translating a page that uses translatable templates, do not include them within the <code><nowiki><translate></nowiki></code> tags. (I'm repeating this because it's important.)
