Template:Lang-mt

Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

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.

This template should not be substituted.

This template uses Lua:

Module:Lang

Usage

settings
code	mt
style: italic

The language template {{lang-mt}} identifies Maltese text. 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 languages that use the Latin alphabet, normal 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 |translit= allows for a romanization to be identified. The templates that have this parameter are listed here. (This parameter is not supported by lang-x templates for languages that are already written in Latin script.)

The parameter |lit= enables a literal translation (in English) to be given. It is being rolled out to these templates and so may be available for {{lang-mt}}.

Parameters

lang-xx supported parameters
parameter	definition	yields to	alias
`text`	non-English text	–	`{{{1}}}`
`translit`	Latin script transliteration of the content in `text`	–	`{{{2}}}`
`translit-std`	standard used for the transliteration of the value of `translit`; accepted values are: `ISO`, `DIN`, `IAST`, `ALA`, `ALA-LC`	–
`translit-script`	transliteration standard's script identifier	–
`translation`	literal English translation or gloss of the content in `text`	–	`lit`, `{{{3}}}`
`label`	label to be used instead of template-provided language label; may be wikilinked; special keyword `none` causes the template to render without any labels (including transliteration and translation labels)	–
`link`	`yes` (default) links language name and static text associated with `translit` and `translation`; accepted values are: `no`, `yes`; `\|link=no` does not unlink wikilinked labels set by `\|label=`	–	`links`
`code`	IETF language tag for the content in `text`; set by the template, overriding the template setting is discouraged	–
`script`	IETF language script subtag; sometimes set by the template when the language of the content in `text` uses more than one writing system; always four alpha characters; a value of `Latn` (not "Latin"!) forces italic rendering unless overridden by `italic`; overrides `rtl`	`italic`
`region`	IETF language region subtag	–
`variant`	IETF language variant subtag	–
`rtl`	`yes` indicates that the writing system used for the content in `text` is right-to-left; accepted values are: `no` (default), `yes`	`script`
`italic`	see table "lang-xx \|italic= parameter operation"; accepted values are: `yes`, `no`, `unset`, `invert`, `default`	–	`italics`,`i`
`size`	specifies font size of the content in `text`; use a value suitable for use with the CSS `font-size` property; this should almost always be a relative value supplied in `%` or `em` units, not a fixed `px` value.	–
`cat`	inhibits automatic categorization; mirror version of `nocat`; accepted values are: `no`, `n`, `false`, `f`, `off`, `0`	–
`nocat`	inhibits automatic categorization; mirror version of `cat`; accepted values are: `yes`, `y`, `true`, `t`, `on`, `1`	–
