Then save and re-mark the page for translation to update the page across all languages.

''Note: our version of the Translate extension is outdated, so current MediaWiki documentation does not apply for this feature.''

Sometimes, you ''don't'' want to translate something in a page - maybe it is something like a number, a special link name, or some piece of code that should not be translated. In this case, you can use a translation variable in order to make sure translation of the page does not change it.

Translation variables are written like this: <code><nowiki>&lt;tvar&#124;name&gt;variable&lt;/&gt;</nowiki></code>

To translators, it will look like this:

: some text that isn't the variable <tvar|1>''$name''</> some more text

When translating, simply paste in the <tvar|2>''$name''</> part and it will appear in your translation exactly as it is in the original page.

</translate>

<code><nowiki>Hello! This is a sentence which includes a translation variable: &lt;tvar&#124;tvar-example&gt;&#128578;I'm a translation variable&lt;/&gt;. Look at it in different languages!</nowiki></code>

<translate>

Hello! This is a sentence which includes a translation variable: <tvar|tvar-example>&#128578;I'm a translation variable</>. Look at it in different languages!
