Template:Langx

Documentation icon Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

Usage

This language template identifies non-English text. Both an IETF language tag and the non-English term or phrase are the only required parameters. The text is formatted according to recommendations in Wikipedia: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. This parameter is not supported by

  1. REDIRECT Template:Template link code templates for languages that are already written in Latin script.

The parameter |lit= enables a literal translation (in English) to be given.

Langx supported parameters
Parameter Definition Yields to Alias
|1= The IETF language tag for the content in |text= – |code=
|text= The non-English text – |2=
|translit= The Latin script transliteration of the content in |text= – |3=
|translit-std= The standard used for the transliteration of the value of |translit=; accepted values are: ISO, DIN, IAST, ALA, ALA-LC –
|translit-script= The transliteration standard's script identifier –
|translation= The literal English translation or gloss of the content in |text= – |lit=, |4=
|label= The label to be used instead of template-provided language label. May be wikilinked. Special keyword none causes the template to render without any labels (including transliteration and translation labels) –
|link= Links language name and static text associated with |translit= and |translation=. Defaults to yes. Accepted values are: no, yes; |link=no does not unlink wikilinked labels set by |label= – |links=
|proto= Accepted values are: no (default) or yes (default for private-use language tags with the -x-proto subtags); when yes (default or explicit), prefixes rendered text with an asterisk indicating 'unattested' –
|script= IETF language script subtag; sometimes set by the template when the language of the content in |text= uses more than one writing system; always four alpha characters; a value of Latn (not "Latin"!) forces italic rendering unless overridden by |italic=; overrides |rtl= |italic=

|size= Specifies font size of the content in |text=; use a value suitable for use with the CSS font-size property; this should almost always be a relative value supplied in % or em units, not a fixed px value. –
|engvar= Selects English variant spelling of 'romanised' or 'romanized' (default) according to the country specified; accepted values are: au (Australia), ca (Canada), gb (Great Britain), ie (Ireland), in (India), nz (New Zealand), us (United States), za (South Africa) –
|cat= Inhibits automatic categorization; mirror version of |nocat=; accepted values are: no, n, false, f, off, 0 –
|nocat= Inhibits automatic categorization; mirror version of |cat=; accepted values are: yes, y, true, t, on, 1 –
