Usage

{{Language with name/for/doc}} is a template used to indicate to readers that the previous term or phrase is from a non-English or foreign language, providing a translation of the non-English term.

Parameters

There appear to be five parameters, three numbered

  1. passed as the language name only when rtl is selected
  2. the foreign language
  3. the foreign language term or phrase

and two named

  • links used when the language is to be wiki-linked (any value other than no)
  • rtl which indicates a right-to-left script


It should generally be placed after the non-English term or phrase, and contain the English translation of the term or phrase.

Example

Edit

  • Weimar is located in the federal state of Thüringen ({{Language with name/for||German|Thuringia}}).
  • Weimar is located in the federal state of Thüringen ({{Language with name/for|2=German|3=[[Thuringia]]}}).
  • {{Language with name/for|1=1|2=2|3=3}}

Resulting text

  • Weimar is located in the federal state of Thüringen (German for 'Thuringia').
  • Weimar is located in the federal state of Thüringen (German for 'Thuringia').
  • 2 for '[3] error: {{lang}}: unrecognized language tag: 1 (help)'
