This template displays quoted text in two columns. It is useful where text may be presented in original and translated versions.

=== Usage ===
This template may be added by copy-pasting the template as shown below into an article.

|lmargin
|bgcolor=
|hdalign=
|gutter
|header=
|quote1=
|quote2=
}}</pre>
</div>

Please ensure that the result will be readable by people with [[color blindness]], and those with visual disabilities. The [[Web Content Accessibility Guidelines]] recommend a [[contrast ratio]] of at least 5:1 for text — use this [http://www.msfw.com/accessibility/tools/contrastratiocalculator.aspx Contrast ratio calculator] to help determine if the colors you choose will be visible to everyone.

=== Example ===

Sample input:

<nowiki>
{{Quote2col
|header='''Pfadfinder und Pfadfinderinnen Österreichs'''
|quote1=I promise on my honour
To do my best
To serve God and my country
To help my fellow people
And to live according our Law.
|quote2=Ich verspreche bei meiner Ehre,
dass ich mein Bestes tun will,
Gott und meinem Vaterland zu dienen,
meinen Mitmenschen zu helfen
und nach unseren Gesetzen zu leben.
}}
</nowiki>

and appearance:

{{Quote2col
|header='''Pfadfinder und Pfadfinderinnen Österreichs'''
|quote1=I promise on my honour
To do my best
To serve God and my country
To help my fellow people
And to live according our Law.
|quote2=Ich verspreche bei meiner Ehre,
dass ich mein Bestes tun will,
Gott und meinem Vaterland zu dienen,
meinen Mitmenschen zu helfen
und nach unseren Gesetzen zu leben.
}}

=== Example with fancy indenting ===

Here is a fancier example, which does indentation better when columns are very narrow, at the cost of more-complicated specification:

<nowiki>
{{quote2col
|gutter=10px
|lmargin=1em
|quote1=<div style='margin-left: 2em; text-indent: -2em'>ξεῖνε, Φιλίταϲ εἰμί·  λόγων ὁ ψευδόμενόϲ με</div><div style='margin-left: 3em; text-indent: -2em'>ὥλεϲε καὶ νυκτῶν φροντίδεϲ ἑϲπέριοι</div>
|quote2=<div style='margin-left: 2em; text-indent: -2em'>''{{transl|el|ISO|Xeîne, Philítas eimí. Lógōn ho pseudómenós me}}''</div><div style='margin-left: 3em; text-indent: -2em'>''{{transl|el|ISO|hṓlese kaì nyktôn phrontídes hespérioi}}''</div>
}}
</nowiki>

and appearance:

{{quote2col
|gutter=10px
|lmargin=1em
|quote1=<div style='margin-left: 2em; text-indent: -2em'>ξεῖνε, Φιλίταϲ εἰμί·  λόγων ὁ ψευδόμενόϲ με</div><div style='margin-left: 3em; text-indent: -2em'>ὥλεϲε καὶ νυκτῶν φροντίδεϲ ἑϲπέριοι</div>
|quote2=<div style='margin-left: 2em; text-indent: -2em'>''{{transl|el|ISO|Xeîne, Philítas eimí. Lógōn ho pseudómenós me}}''</div><div style='margin-left: 3em; text-indent: -2em'>''{{transl|el|ISO|hṓlese kaì nyktôn phrontídes hespérioi}}''</div>
}}
