Fyrimynd:Template:Lang-x/doc

Usage

Template {{Template:Lang-x}} indicates to readers the original form of a term or phrase in [[Fyrimynd:ISO 639 name ate:Lang-x language|Fyrimynd:ISO 639 name ate:Lang-x]] 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 {{Template:Lang-x}}.
