Usually used to fill out the |languages= in various infoboxes, most commonly {{game infobox}}.

A correct use of the template would be e.g. {{languages|en_us=y|en_gb=y|jp=y|nl=y}}. No other values than y are accepted for each language. If a language is not available for a game, the language should be removed from the row entirely.

If specific countries are listed for a language, it's usually the primary market of the region (The Americas, Europe, Australia) that commissioned the translation. So while smaller markets in the region use the same language, for instance, but not limited to, Canada for Americas+English, Republic of Ireland for Europe+English, and Haiti for Americas+French, only the primary markets are listed.

If it would make no sense to distinguish between The Americas and Europe text lines, or if they have the same value, en/es/fr/pt can be used instead of country designators.

Full set of template options, with all of them set to y for "Yes" by default:
{{languages|en=y|en_gb=y|en_us=y|jp=y|de=y|es=y|es_es=y|es_latam=y|fr=y|fr_fr=y|fr_ca=y|it=y|kr=y|nl=y|pt=y|pt_br=y|pt_pt=y|ru=y|zh_simp=y|zh_trad=y}}

Using the entire full set without removing any languages, results in the below list:
