Template:Lang-x/doc: Difference between revisions

Latest revision as of 04:42, 3 September 2020

This is a documentation subpage for multiple templates located in Category:Lang-x templates.
It may contain usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page.

This template should not be substituted.

This template uses Lua:

Module:lang

Usage

Lua error in Module:Lang/documentor_tool at line 29: attempt to index local 'content' (a nil value). The language template {{lang-x}} identifies foreign language text. The term or phrase is the only mandatory parameter. The text is formatted according to recommendations in Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Text formatting § Foreign terms; italics for languages that use the Latin alphabet, normal for others.

The template should generally be placed after the English translation of the foreign term or phrase.

The parameter |links=no prevents the language name from being linked.

The parameter |translit= allows for a Romanization to be identified. The templates that have this parameter are listed here. (This parameter is not supported by lang-x templates for languages that are already written in Latin script.)

The parameter |lit= enables a literal translation (in English) to be given. It is being rolled out to these templates and so may be available for {{lang-x}}.

Parameters

Examples

The following examples show translations from German.

Edit

Weimar is located in the federal state of Thuringia ({{lang-de|Thüringen}}).
The Seafarers of Catan ({{lang-de|Die Seefahrer von Catan}}) is an expansion of the board game The Settlers of Catan.
Albert the Bear ({{lang-de|Albrecht der Bär|links=no}})
All Quiet on the Western Front ({{lang-de|Im Westen nichts Neues|lit=In the West Nothing New}}) is a novel by Erich Maria Remarque.
