Many pages on the English Wikipedia are available in other languages. These pages are accessed via the interlanguage links or interwiki links, usually visible on the upper right of a page. (For the desktop website this was previously on the bottom left. For some languages this is still the case). Links to all the different language versions for that page will be displayed. A lack of interlanguage links indicates that there is no equivalent page in any other language.

Other language versions are usually written independently rather than being a translation. The interlanguage links may on occasion lead to non-existent pages.
