Template:Lang-x/doc
This is a documentation subpage for multiple templates located in Category:Lang-x templates. It contains 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 COinS in Starfleet Logistics. |
This template should not be substituted. |
Usage
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 Starfleet Logistics: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 Logistics.org/w/index.php?title=Special:WhatLinksHere/Template:Language_with_name_and_transliteration&namespace=10&limit=500&hidelinks=1 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.
