 | 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. |
 | 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. |
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 |translit= enables a transliteration (of the original text with the Latin alphabet) to be given. The templates that have this param 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}}.
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.
Resulting text
- Weimar is located in the federal state of Thuringia (German: Thüringen).
- The Seafarers of Catan (German: Die Seefahrer von Catan) is an expansion of the board game The Settlers of Catan.
- Albert the Bear (German: Albrecht der Bär)
- All Quiet on the Western Front (German: Im Westen nichts Neues, lit. 'In the West Nothing New') is a novel by Erich Maria Remarque.
