== Using translation variables == | |||
''Note: our version of the Translate extension is outdated, so current MediaWiki documentation does not apply for this feature.''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 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 as <code><nowiki>some text that isn't the variable <tvar|name>variable</> some more text</nowiki></code>. To translators, it will look like this: | |||
: some text that isn't the variable ''$name'' some more text | |||
When translating, simply paste in the ''$name'' part and it will appear in your translation exactly as it is in the original page. | |||
=== Example === | |||
</translate> | |||
<pre>Hello! This is a sentence which includes a translation variable: <tvar|tvar-example>😀I'm a translation variable</>. Look at it in different languages!</pre> | |||
<translate> | |||
