Template:Lang
Documentation for Lang
Main article: Help:Translation switching
The main purpose of this template is to retain consistency across multiple translated pages. {{lang}}
will detect the language page name, and display that language's translation by itself (e.g. if a template with Polish translations in it, when used on a Polish page, only the Polish translations will be displayed).
This works by using a #switch
parser function based on the value of SUBPAGENAME
. By default, {{lang}}
will display English if no translation is available for a particular page.
Usage
- To define a language, simply use the code
| xx =
and then add your translation after (replacing xx with the correct code from below).
