Usage
[alilan ya ing pikuwanan]Template {{lang-si}} indicates to readers the original form of a term or phrase in [[{{ISO 639 name Template:Str right}} language|{{ISO 639 name Template:Str right}}]] 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 |lit=
enables a literal translation to be given. It is being rolled out to these templates and so may be available for {{lang-si}}.
