Details of how to use it for its original purpose -- showing the languages that you know -- are at Wiki: Babel.
The trick is to use the {{!}} template. See below for an example.
The Babel box prefixes its arguments with "User ", so it will work with the User: namespace. For example, this would include the {{User:Urhixidur/Userboxes/Asteroid}} user box, and pass it a parameter as well:
{{Babel|| |:Urhixidur/Userboxes/Asteroid{{!}} | |...}}
To customize the appearance you can add the optional parameters header=HEADER (default: Wiki: Babel), footer=FOOTER (default: Search user languages), bordercolor=BORDERCOLOR (default: #99B3FF), color=COLOR (default: white), textcolor=TEXTCOLOR (default: black), left=Left margin (default: 1), bottom=Bottom margin (default: 0.5), solid=Solid border width (default: 1), width=Box width (default: 248), and/or extra-css=
Example: {{Babel|align=left|color=yellow|en|fr|de|!|tl|ru|:UBX/1337}} produces:

The page you are now reading is the actual Babel template. If you click "edit this page", you will see a bunch of computer code that makes the Babel boxes work. What you're now reading is just comments in that code, inside "
In order to have Babel boxes on another Wiki project, just copy this page to that project. Click "view source" and use your computer mouse to copy all the contents, including the computer code. Create a page called "Template:Babel" on the other Wiki project and put the content into it.
You also need to copy over a bunch of files with names like "Template:User en", "Template:User en-1", "Template:User fr", etc. etc. Once you've done that, users can put e.g. "{{Babel|en-1|fr}}" on their user page and the Babel boxes will be displayed.
