| == Purpose ==
| |
| This template is used to show translatable templates in the language of the current page. Templates, like all other MediaWiki pages, can be translated using the [[Special:MyLanguage/Extension:Translate|Translate extension]], which creates subpages with the form "''pagename/language code''". The template first checks if the name of the page contains a language code. If it does, it then checks if the template name given as a first parameter has a translation in that language. If the page name does not contain a language code, or if the navigation template doesn't exist in that language, it will display the English template.
| |
| | |
| == How to use ==
| |
| | |
| * <code><nowiki>{{Translatable template|name of template|parameters...}} </nowiki></code>
| |
| * <code><nowiki>{{TNT|name of template|parameters...}} </nowiki></code>
| |
| * <code><nowiki>{{tnt|name of template|parameters...}} </nowiki></code>
| |
| | |
| The above simplified syntax cannot work if the named template also needs to be transcluded in other translatable templates, because it would cause self-recursion. An alternative is to use Translatable template name which does not expand the template with its parameters, but only returns the resolved template name, which can then be transcluded normally:
| |
| * <code><nowiki>{{ {{</nowiki>Translatable template name|''name of template''<nowiki>}}</nowiki> |''parameters....''<nowiki>}}</nowiki></code>
| |
| * <code><nowiki>{{ {{</nowiki>TNTN|''name of template''<nowiki>}}</nowiki> |''parameters....''<nowiki>}}</nowiki></code>
| |
| * <code><nowiki>{{ {{</nowiki>tntn|''name of template''<nowiki>}}</nowiki> |''parameters....''<nowiki>}}</nowiki></code>
| |
| | |
| == Parameters ==
| |
| The current version of the template may now include any kind of named or numbered parameters, whose values will be transferred into the called template (except for parameter 1 containing the basename of the translatable template to transclude). Numbered parameters will be shifted down by one position, all named parameters will be passed unchanged.
