Purpose

This helper template can be used to link to translatable pages in the user's language. It uses the special page prefix Special:MyLanguage/, 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.

It should be used in translated pages, so that they link to the right page even if there is no translated page in that language.

Usage

Taken from MediaWiki.

This helper template can be used to link to translatable pages in the user's language. It uses the special page prefix Special:MyLanguage/, 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 on this wiki) if there isn't.

It should be used in translated pages, so that they link to the right page even if there is no translated page in that language.

Usage

Auto-translatable version

{{ll|target page}}

Version with custom display text

{{ll|target page|display text}}

Usage in translatable pages

On pages prepared for translation, this template may be used in three ways.

1. Substitute this template, and then use a wikilink target embedded in a <tvar name=id>...</tvar>, separate from the translatable displayed text of the link.

   For example, instead of {{ll|Communication|About communication}}, translation markup in translatable page will be [[<tvar name=1>Special:MyLanguage/Communication</tvar>|About communication]].

2. Alternatively, you may exclude this code from translatable section.

   As an example, for some text {{ll|Communication|About communication}} some text, translation markup in translatable page will be:

   <translate>some text</translate> {{ll|Communication|2=<translate>About communication</translate>}} <translate>some text</translate>

   This is useful for bulleted lists of links, e.g. in the "See also:" sections.

3. If the link text does not have to be different from the name of landing page, it is better to embed all this code into <tvar> tags.

   As an example, instead of {{ll|Communication}}, translation markup in translatable page will be <tvar name=1>{{ll|Communication}}</tvar>.

Details

This template has three parameters.

• Target page (1). This is required. This is the page that the link should target.
• Display text (2). This is suggested, but not required. This is the text that should be displayed for the link.
• Namespace display (nsp). This is optional. If “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.

If the "nsp" parameter is not defined, as link text this displays the full pagename (including the namespace); otherwise — if the "nsp" parameter is defined to any value the link text displays the short pagename (without the namespace).

Examples of simple usage

Template:(| class="wikitable" |- ! Use ! Becomes |- | {{ll|Communication}} | Communication |- | {{ll|Communication|コミュニケーション}} | コミュニケーション |- | {{ll|Project:About}} | Project:About |- | {{ll|Project:About|nsp=0}} | About |Template:)

Usage in translatable pages

On pages prepared for translation with the Extension:Translate extension, this template may be used in three ways.

1. Substitute this template, then embed the wikilink target in a [[:Template:^(]]tvar name=id[[:Template:)^]]...[[:Template:^(]]/tvar[[:Template:)^]], separate from the translatable text of the link.

   For example, instead of {{ll|Communication|About communication}}, the translation markup in the translatable page will be [[[[:Template:^(]]tvar name=1[[:Template:)^]]Special:MyLanguage/Communication[[:Template:^(]]/tvar[[:Template:)^]]|About communication]].

2. Alternatively, exclude this code from the translatable section.

   For example, for some text {{ll|Communication|About communication}} some text, the translation markup in the translatable page will be:

   [[:Template:^(]]translate[[:Template:)^]]some text[[:Template:^(]]/translate[[:Template:)^]] {{ll|Communication|2=[[:Template:^(]]translate[[:Template:)^]]About communication[[:Template:^(]]/translate[[:Template:)^]]}} [[:Template:^(]]translate[[:Template:)^]]some text[[:Template:^(]]/translate[[:Template:)^]]

   This is useful for bulleted lists of links, e.g. in the "See also:" sections.

3. If link text is the same as the name of the target page, all of the code could also be embedded into Template:Tag.

   For example, instead of {{ll|Communication}}, the wikicode in the translatable page will be [[:Template:^(]]tvar name=1[[:Template:)^]]{{ll|Communication}}[[:Template:^(]]/tvar[[:Template:)^]].
