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

This template is used on approximately ೬,೫೧,೦೦೦ pages, or roughly 3557% of all pages.
To avoid major disruption and server load, any changes should be tested in the template's /sandbox or /testcases subpages, or in your own user subpage. The tested changes can be added to this page in a single edit. Consider discussing changes on the talk page before implementing them.

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:

Module:Lang

This language template identifies non-English text. It is very similar to {{lang}} but inserts the name of the language as a label. 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.

Usage

An IETF language tag and the non-English term or phrase are the only required parameters.

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. This parameter is not supported by {{langx|<tag>|...}} templates for languages that are already written in Latin script.
The parameter |lit= enables a literal translation (in English) to be given.

Parameters

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=`	(Deprecated – include script subtag in `\|1=`) 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=`
`\|region=`	(Deprecated – include region subtag in `\|1=`) IETF language region subtag	—
`\|variant=`	(Deprecated – include variant subtag in `\|1=`) IETF language variant subtag	—

`\|italic=`	see table "Langx `\|italic=` parameter operation"; accepted values are: `yes`, `no`, `unset`, `invert`, `default`	—	`\|italics=`, `\|i=`
`\|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`	—

Comparison with the Lang template

This template differs from the {{lang}} template in that this one labels the text with the name of the language. For that reason, to avoid unnecessary clutter, this template should be used sparingly, in cases where the name of the language should be made explicit, such as the first place in an article that the translation of a word or phrase in English is given, or when renderings in multiple languages are being given and confusion is possible in the absence of such labeling.

Comparison:

{{Lang|ru|тундра}} produces тундра
{{Langx|ru|тундра}} produces Russian: тундра
{{Langx|ru|тундра|label=none}} produces тундра
