Template:Language/doc

This is a documentation subpage for language templates (see that page for the template itself).
It contains usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page.

Usage

{{Undetermined language}}

or

{{und}}

This template is used to designate the language used in an article's source if that language is Undetermined rather than English. Specify its name to template {{source}} using parameter lang=.

Example (language spec is bolded):

{{source\|url=http://www.example.com/foobar \|title=Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet \|author=Ford Prefect \|pub=Megadodo Publications \|date=December 6, 2014 \|lang=und* }}

This produces the following:

Ford Prefect. "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet" — Megadodo Publications, December 6, 2014 (Undetermined)

An older, deprecated style calls this template directly; put it after the source reference, with a space between the reference and the language template.

Example (language spec is bolded):

{{source\|url=http://www.example.com/foobar \|title=Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet \|author=Ford Prefect \|pub=Megadodo Publications \|date=December 6, 2014 }} {{und}}*

Custom Languages

See: Languageicon for more details.

If the language you need is not listed amongst the languages in the Language templates category, you can use the {{Languageicon}} template, and manually input the ISO code, language name, and language article name.

Alternatively you can create a new language template for the language in question.
