|desc=This template is for example called from [[Template:Autotranslate|autotranslatable]] templates and is used to apply the "lang" and "dir" attributes to the span tag containing the text. It also adds CSS classes, that for example allow CSS highlighting text that is in a specific language. For a list of language codes to use for parameter 1 see [[:en:List of ISO 639-1 codes]]. | |desc=This template is for example called from [[Template:Autotranslate|autotranslatable]] templates and is used to apply the "lang" and "dir" attributes to the span tag containing the text.

This template tags the wrapped text with the <code>"description"</code> CSS class, which will cause {{ll|Commons:Multimedia Features/Media Viewer|Media Viewer}} to display that text. In a file context, the template should therefore only be used to wrap text that is useful as a file description. Do not use this as a general-purpose language tagging template; most of the time it is sufficient to directly add the necessary HTML attributes instead ([[Special:Diff/1099913717|example]]), with wikitext like <code><nowiki><div lang="{{#bcp47:</nowiki><var>LANG</var><nowiki>}}" dir="{{#dir:</nowiki><var>LANG</var><nowiki>}}"></nowiki><var>TEXT</var><nowiki></div></nowiki></code>. | |||
