Well, I should explain, you should only link to other pages that either: Obviously, you can make your own character pages and link them to your heart's content. You can also link to canon pages on Wookieepedia by using. So, for example,  leads to, the canon article for Han Solo on Wookieepedia.
 * You made, or
 * Are canon pages on Wookieepedia, or
 * Are free-use

However, you can't use just anybody's articles freely. Take, for example, my character Rin Sakaros. That's a character I made, and no one can link to it but me and people whom I give permission. If you make articles for your characters, the same is true there; no one can link to your characters but you, and anyone to whom you give permission.

The exception is "free use" articles; the people who post those articles have stated anyone can use them. The full list is here. A separate but related category is Free-edit articles. A free-use article is one that anyone can link to and incorporate into his or her own pages, but can't change. A free-edit article can not only be linked to, but also added to by any user.

As for the translated quote, if it's in an article (not the story itself), you would use this template. If it's in the story text, then it's really up to you. In , Timothy Zahn used a single bracket. So, for example, you could write


 * [We must go,] the alien said in Huttese, which Bob spoke fluently.

Single brackets aren't a coding problem. Double brackets are where you run into issues, because double brackets make a link. So  just shows up as [Rin Sakaros], but   becomes the link Rin Sakaros.

Apart from the single bracket approach, some authors take different tacks. Some will use italics (We must go, said the Chiss in Cheunh); I've ever seen greater/less than signs (<> said the Wookiee in Shyriiwook). The single bracket is the Zahn standard, which I must admit to liking, but I don't know that there's a single universal style.
