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

Usage
Template {{lang-x}} indicates to readers the original form of a term or phrase in a foreign language. 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 Latin-script languages, regular 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 |lit= enables a literal translation to be given. It is being rolled out to these templates and so may be available for {{lang-x}}.
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.
