Template documentation

This template is used on approximately 35,000 pages.

To avoid large-scale disruption and unnecessary server load, any changes to this template should first be tested in its /sandbox or /testcases subpages or in your own user subpage. The tested changes can then be added to this page in one single edit.

Please consider discussing any changes on the talk page before implementing them.

Purpose

</translate> <translate> This helper template can be used to link to [[<tvar name=1>Special:LanguageStats</tvar>|translatable pages]] in the user's language.</translate> <translate> It uses the special page prefix <tvar name=1>Special:MyLanguage/</tvar>, which checks if there is a translated version of a page in the user's language, and links to it if there is one, and links to a fallback language where available, or the default wiki language version (English in MediaWiki) if there isn't.</translate>

<translate> It should be used in translated pages, so that they link to the right page even if there is no translated page in that language.

Usage

</translate> Template:Localized link/doc

<translate> If "<tvar name=1>nsp</tvar>" parameter is not defined, as link text displays the full pagename (including namespace); otherwise — if "<tvar name=1>nsp</tvar>" parameter is defined by any value — link text displays the short pagename, without namespace.

Examples of simple usage

</translate> Template:(| class="wikitable" |- ! <translate> Use</translate> ! <translate> Becomes</translate> |- | {{ll|Communication}} | Communication |- | {{ll|Communication|コミュニケーション}} | コミュニケーション |- | {{ll|Project:About}} | Project:About |- | {{ll|Project:About|nsp=0}} | About |Template:)

Usage in translatable pages

On pages prepared for translation with the <tvar name=1>Extension:Translate </tvar> extension, this template may be used in three ways. </translate>

<translate> Should better be substitute this template, and then the wikilink target embedded in a <tvar name=1>[[:Template:^(]]tvar name=id[[:Template:)^]]...[[:Template:^(]]/tvar[[:Template:)^]]</tvar>, separately from the translatable displayed text of the link.</translate>
<translate> As example, instead of <tvar name=1>{{ll|Communication|About communication}}</tvar>, translation markup in translatable page will be <tvar name=2>[[[[:Template:^(]]tvar name=1[[:Template:)^]]Special:MyLanguage/Communication[[:Template:^(]]/tvar[[:Template:)^]]|About communication]]</tvar>.</translate>
<translate> Alternatively, may be exclude this code from translatable section.</translate>
<translate> As example, for <tvar name=1>some text {{ll|Communication|About communication}} some text</tvar>, translation markup in translatable page will be:</translate>

[[:Template:^(]]translate[[:Template:)^]]some text[[:Template:^(]]/translate[[:Template:)^]] {{ll|Communication|2=[[:Template:^(]]translate[[:Template:)^]]About communication[[:Template:^(]]/translate[[:Template:)^]]}} [[:Template:^(]]translate[[:Template:)^]]some text[[:Template:^(]]/translate[[:Template:)^]]

<translate> This is useful for bulleted lists of links, e.g. in the "See also:" sections.</translate>
<translate> If link text does not have to be different from the name of landing page, will be better to embed all this code into <tvar name=1>Template:Tag</tvar>.</translate>
<translate> As example, instead of <tvar name=1>{{ll|Communication}}</tvar>, translation markup in translatable page will be <tvar name=2>[[:Template:^(]]tvar name=1[[:Template:)^]]{{ll|Communication}}[[:Template:^(]]/tvar[[:Template:)^]]</tvar>.</translate>
