<languages/> [[Special:MyLanguage/{{{1}}}|{{{1}}}]]
| This template is used on approximately 35,000 pages and changes may be widely noticed. Test changes in the template's /sandbox or /testcases subpages, or in your own user subpage. Consider discussing changes on the discussion page before implementing them. |
<translate>
Purpose
</translate>
<translate> This helper template can be used to link to [[<tvar name=1>Special:LanguageStats</tvar>|translatable pages]] in the user's language.</translate>
<translate> It uses the special page prefix <tvar name=1>Special:MyLanguage/</tvar>, which checks if there is a translated version of a page in the user's language, and links to it if there is one, and links to a fallback language where available, or the default wiki language version (English in MediaWiki) if there isn't.</translate>
<translate>
Usage
</translate> Lua error: expandTemplate: template loop detected. Lua error: expandTemplate: template loop detected.
Link to translatable page in the user’s language. It uses the special page prefix “Special:MyLanguage/”.
| Parameter | Description | Type | Status | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Page name | 1 | Linked page | Page name | required |
| Displayed text | 2 | Display text for this link | Line | suggested |
| Display the namespace | nsp | If the “nsp” parameter is not defined, as link text displays the full pagename (including namespace); otherwise — if “nsp” parameter is defined by any value — link text displays the short pagename, without namespace.
| String | optional |
onlyinclude>[[Category:Internationalization templates{{#translation:}}]] [[Category:Internal link templates{{#translation:}}]]</onlyinclude> Lua error: expandTemplate: template loop detected.
<translate>
If the "<tvar name=1>nsp</tvar>" parameter is not defined, as link text this displays the full pagename (including the namespace); otherwise — if the "<tvar name=1>nsp</tvar>" parameter is defined to any value the link text displays the short pagename (without the namespace).
When linking to a section within a page, the section is not displayed in the link text.
Examples of simple usage
</translate>
| <translate> Use</translate> | <translate> Becomes</translate> |

| {{ll|Communication}} | Template:Ll |
| {{ll|Communication|コミュニケーション}} | Template:Ll |

Usage in translatable pages
On pages prepared for translation with the <tvar name=1>Template:Ll</tvar> extension, this template may be used in three ways. </translate>
- <translate> Substitute this template, then embed the wikilink target in a <tvar name=1>
<tvar name=id>...</tvar></tvar>, separate from the translatable text of the link.</translate>- <translate> For example:</translate>
Learn more {{<tvar name=1>ll|Communication</tvar>|about communication}}.
- <translate> For example:</translate>
- <translate> If link text is the same as the name of the target page, all of the code could also be embedded into <tvar name=1>
<tvar></tvar>.</translate>- <translate> For example:</translate>
Learn more about <tvar name=1>{{ll|Communication}}</tvar>.
- <translate> For example:</translate>
- <translate> For standalone links, such as in a list or table, translate only the link text if it differs from the name of the target page.</translate> <translate> This is useful for bulleted lists of links, e.g. in the "See also:" sections.</translate> <translate> Make sure to include the parameter name when adding translate tags inside template syntax.</translate>
- <translate> For example:</translate>
* {{ll|Project:About}}* {{ll|Communication|2=<translate>About communication</translate>}}
