Interlanguage links are links from a page in one Wikipedia language to an equivalent page in another language. These links can appear as links in the "Languages" section of the page's left sidebar (or in a dropdown the top right of the page if you use the Vector 2022 skin).

Less commonly, for certain situations these can appear as inline links in the text of the article.

These two types of links are created and handled differently.
