Template:Langx

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

This language template identifies non-English text. It is very similar to {{lang}} but inserts the name of the language as a label. 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.

Usage

An IETF language tag and the non-English term or phrase are the only required parameters.

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. This parameter is not supported by {{langx|<tag>|...}} templates for languages that are already written in Latin script.
• The parameter |lit= enables a literal translation (in English) to be given.

Parameters

Langx supported parameters

Parameter	Definition	Yields to	Alias
|1=	The IETF language tag for the content in |text=	Template:Sdash	|code=
|text=	The non-English text	Template:Sdash	|2=
|translit=	The Latin script transliteration of the content in |text=	Template:Sdash	|3=
|translit-std=	The standard used for the transliteration of the value of |translit=; accepted values are: Template:Param value, Template:Param value, Template:Param value, Template:Param value, Template:Param value	Template:Sdash
|translit-script=	The transliteration standard's script identifier	Template:Sdash
|translation=	The literal English translation or gloss of the content in |text=	Template:Sdash	|lit=, |4=
|label=	The label to be used instead of template-provided language label. May be wikilinked. Special keyword Template:Param value causes the template to render without any labels (including transliteration and translation labels)	Template:Sdash
|link=	Links language name and static text associated with |translit= and |translation=. Defaults to Template:Param value. Accepted values are: Template:Param value, Template:Param value; |link=no does not unlink wikilinked labels set by |label=	Template:Sdash	|links=
|proto=	Accepted values are: Template:Param value (default) or Template:Param value (default for private-use language tags with the Template:Param value subtags); when Template:Param value (default or explicit), prefixes rendered text with an asterisk indicating 'unattested'	Template:Sdash
|script=	(Deprecated – include script subtag in |1=) 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 Template:Param value (not "Latin"!) forces italic rendering unless overridden by |italic=; overrides |rtl=	|italic=

|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 Template:Param value or Template:Param value units, not a fixed Template:Param value value.	Template:Sdash
|engvar=	Selects English variant spelling of 'romanised' or 'romanized' (default) according to the country specified; accepted values are: Template:Param value (Australia), Template:Param value (Canada), Template:Param value (Great Britain), Template:Param value (Ireland), Template:Param value (India), Template:Param value (New Zealand), Template:Param value (United States), Template:Param value (South Africa)	Template:Sdash

Comparison with the Lang template

This template differs from the {{lang}} template in that this one labels the text with the name of the language. For that reason, to avoid unnecessary clutter, this template should be used sparingly, in cases where the name of the language should be made explicit, such as the first place in an article that the translation of a word or phrase in English is given, or when renderings in multiple languages are being given and confusion is possible in the absence of such labeling.

Comparison:

• {{Lang|ru|тундра}} produces тундра
• {{Langx|ru|тундра}} produces
• {{Langx|ru|тундра|label=none}} produces
