+Switching language in templates
+-------------------------------
+
+If you want to select a language within a template, you can use the
+``language`` template tag:
+
+.. code-block:: html+django
+
+    {% load i18n %}
+
+    {% get_current_language as LANGUAGE_CODE %}
+    <!-- Current language: {{ LANGUAGE_CODE }} -->

+        <!-- Current language: {{ LANGUAGE_CODE }} -->
+        <p>{% trans "Welcome to our page" %}</p>
+    {% endlanguage %}
+
+While the first occurrence of "Welcome to our page" uses the current language,
+the second will always be in English.
