Template documentation

This documentation is transcluded from Template:Translation note/doc. (edit | history)

Usage

This template notes the non-English form of an English passage in an article.

1. Item to be annotated
2. Language message (typically a two-letter language code, but could be a longer message)
3. Language name (Wikipedia article)
4. Text in the named language

{{Translation note|<item to be annotated>|<language message>|<language name>|<text in named language>}}

Example

Suppose an English-speaking interviewer has conducted an interview, through an interpreter, with a Dutch-speaking interviewee. Each question was asked in English, translated into Dutch, answered in Dutch, and the answer translated back into English. Then a fragment of our article might look like this (if all translations are provided):

{{WNIQ}} {{translation note|What is your name?|nl|Dutch language|Wat is je naam?}} ::{{translation note|'''SL''':|nl|Dutch language|Mijn naam is Sir Lancelot van Camelot.}} My name is Sir Lancelot of Camelot.

This results in:

((WN)) What is your name? ^{((nl))Dutch language: ‍Wat is je naam?}

SL: ^{((nl))Dutch language: ‍Mijn naam is Sir Lancelot van Camelot.} My name is Sir Lancelot of Camelot.
