Template:Lang-x/doc
This template should not be used in citation templates such as Citation Style 1 and Template:Cs2, because it includes markup that will pollute the COinS metadata they produce; see COinS in Wikipedia. |
Usage
[alilan ya ing pikuwanan]Template {{lang-x}} indicates to readers the original form of a term or phrase in a foreign 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-x}}.
