![]() | This is a documentation subpage for Category:Lang-x templates. It contains usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page. |
![]() | 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. |
Usage
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}}.
Examples
The following examples show translations from German.

{{lang-de|Thüringen}}
). - The Seafarers of Catan (

) is a novel by Erich Maria Remarque.
