This template will return the name of a language given the language code. This template is made specifically for the language codes used in MediaWiki (not necessarily ISO codes, but see {{Language/ISO 639/en}}).

Examples

{{language|ar}} → Arabic
{{language|is}} → Icelandic
{{language|zh-hant}} → Traditional Chinese

The second parameter can be used to set the desired output language, otherwise it will return the name in the user's interface language (if a translation exists).

{{language|en|fr}} → anglais
{{language|en|he}} → אנגלית

You can also use this template's subpages directly to archive the same effect (which is also easier on the servers).

{{language/en|de}} → Template:Language/en
{{language/zh-hans|de}} → Template:Language/zh-hans

-* [[:en:Template:Language]] - en.wp has a similar template. linked here for comparison only. theirs converts ISO 639-1/2 codes, ours converts the language codes we use in Wikimedia (Names.php) as well as some additional ISO 639-3 codes.
+* {{tl|Language/ISO 639/en}} - returns the language name given a ISO 639 code (as opposed to the codes used in MediaWiki). Works for all 639-1, 639-2, 639-3 codes (you may have trouble editing it because of the size). Similar to [[:en:Template:Language]] and [[:fr:Modèle:Langue-local]].
