قالب:In lang

(in عربية)

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

Template:In lang is used to denote that a text source is written in a specific language.

For citations using a citation template ({{cite web}}, {{cite news}}, {{cite journal}}, etc.), that template's |language= parameter should be used instead.

To note a span of text in a different language, {{lang}} or one of the {{lang-x}} templates ({{lang-fr}}, {{lang-ast}}, etc.) should be used instead.

This template replaces the many {{<xx> icon}} templates with a single parameterized template as a result of this TfD; cf.:

{{de icon}}(بالألمانية)
{{in lang|de}}(in ألمانية)

Usage

This template accepts one or more positional language-code parameters (<code>) and two named parameters:

{{in lang|<code>|<code2>|...|link=|cap=}}

Parameters

  • <code> – required; <code> is a valid ISO-639 language code or a valid IETF language tag; more than one language code supported:
    • {{in lang|cs|en|de|fr|es|ca-valencia|pl|ru|ja|zh}}
(in تشيكية, إنگليزية, ألمانية, فرنسية, إسپانية, Valencian, پولندية, روسية, يابانية, and صينية)
  • link – accepts the single value yes; creates link to language article
    • {{in lang|nv|link=yes}}<span class="languageicon">(in [[Navajo language|Navajo]])</span>(in Navajo)
  • cap – accepts the single value yes; capitalizes the first letter of "In":
    • {{in lang|pt-BR|cap=yes}}(In Brazilian Portuguese)

Error messages

This template has one error message of its own:

error: {{in lang}} missing language tag – displayed when the template is transcluded without an ISO 639 language code or IETF language tag.

All other error messages related to the use of this template are emitted by Module:Lang and are documented at تصنيف:Lang and lang-xx template errors.

Categories

Transclusions in mainspace articles will add the article to the appropriate subcategory of تصنيف:Articles with non-English-language sources. There are two forms of these subcategories:

Category:Articles with <language name>-language sources (<code>) – for individual languages[1] and for macrolanguages[2]
Category:Articles with <collective name> languages-collective sources (<code>) – for language collectives[3]

where <language name> and <collective name> is the name used in the template's rendering and <code> is the ISO 639 code or IETF language tag.

These categories differ from the categories added by the {{<xx> icon}} templates because not all uses of this template will be related to external links.
