Not everyone speaks/writes in the same languages. Users may categorize themselves by language categories on their user page. Example language groups: en for English, de for German, and so on. Additionally, users can specify their level of proficiency in the language:

• 0 indicates someone who does not understand the language.
• 1 stands for basic knowledge: the ability to understand and answer simple questions in the language.
• 2 stands for intermediate knowledge.
• 3 stands for advanced or fluent knowledge: the ability to correct spelling and grammar errors in the language.

So de-1 identifies a user with basic skills in German, and en-3 identifies a user with advanced skills in English. The two-letter language codes are the same codes described in ISO 639. The three letter codes do not always conform to the ISO standard, though. There can also be weird bracket codes like "el(a)", which likely cannot be deciphered by people that don't speak this language.

Note: Level 0 is less often used, because it is assumed that users do not understand languages they don't list with one of the other levels. However, it can be useful for those who fall under those who may also use {{User Babel/0 is Like}}.

The babel template explains the syntax to use when adding babel boxes to your userpage.

If we don't have the babel box setup for a language you want to use, just request it and we'll add the text from commons.
