+---------

+The `OTHERLANGUAGES` loop provides ways to display the existing
+translations and/or master page. One typically adds the following code
+to `templates/page.tmpl`:
+
+       <TMPL_IF NAME="OTHERLANGUAGES">
+       <div id="otherlanguages">
+         <ul>
+         <TMPL_LOOP NAME="OTHERLANGUAGES">
+           <li>
+             <a href="<TMPL_VAR NAME="URL">"
+                class="is_master_<TMPL_VAR NAME="MASTER">">
+             <TMPL_VAR NAME="LANGUAGE">
+           </a>
