Documentation
The above is what this template creates if the name of this page was Template:En. When transcluded, {{PAGENAME}} is used to generate the name of the language either by using Template:Mwl or a language specific template like the English one {{Language}}. It's a quick way to add documentation to internationalization templates, specifically the language ones like {{Es}} and {{De}} that use {{Description}}. If a translation exists in the local language, this will be placed before the English version. See {{Fr}} for an example.
Only the English and the local language's documentation (if exists) show up default. Up to 8 other translations can be added (these will be in the order specified underneath the local and English translations. For example: {{internationalization template doc|de|es|fr|ja|...}}
Add the following immediately after the template; do not start a new line:
<noinclude>{{internationalization template doc}}</noinclude>
This will also categorize the template.
Adding translations
There's not much to translate here. Just copy and paste the following, translate the English parts, and save. It will create a template loop, but that's ok since they'll work right when called by this template (they shouldn't be used or viewed directly). There's no /lang page to edit. The 'inline' must stay the same, the "yes" can be whatever.
Template:Pre2
- Current translation subpages:
