To make an interlanguage link in-page, prefix a colon (e.g. [[:en:wiki|wiki]]). This can e.g. be useful to link to a page in another language if no local version is available. See also some example templates for conveniently making such links:

en:Template:nli (backlinks, edit) - [[:nl:{{{1}}}]] (in [[Dutch language|Dutch]])
en:Template:nlil (backlinks, edit) - [[{{{1}}}]] ([[:nl:{{{2|{{{1}}}}}}|nl]])
en:Template:nlii (backlinks, edit) - ''[[{{{1}}}]]'' ([[:nl:{{{2|{{{1}}}}}}|nl]])
en:Template:nlis (backlinks, edit) - ([[:nl:{{{1}}}|nl]])
en:Template:nlinl (backlinks, edit) - {{{1}}} ([[:nl:{{{2|{{{1}}}}}}|nl]])

nl:n (in Dutch) - explicit "see" or "see also"
e (nl) - for linking to both en and nl
e (nl) - for linking to both en and nl, film etc.
(nl) - just an nl-link relating to the text in front, but further independent of any text
e (nl) - convenient if name the same on en and nl and for switching to and from nlil
