 | 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. |
| File:Stop hand nuvola.svg | This template should not be used in citation templates such as Citation Style 1 and Citation Style 2, because it includes markup that will pollute the COinS metadata they produce; see Wikipedia:COinS. |
 | This template uses Lua: |
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 Latinate languages, 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
