What is this? edit
What does this template do? --(WT-en) Ricardo (Rmx) 13:31, 23 August 2006 (EDT)
- It's same as WikiPedia:Template:Lang. See WikiPedia:Template talk:Lang and WikiPedia:User:Wikipeditor/CJK for details. Primarily, it allows browsers to render some languages/scripts correctly/more appropriately. --(WT-en) Episteme 15:09, 23 August 2006 (EDT)
Example edit
{{lang|fr|Je suis Français.}} {{lang|en-CA|How's it going, eh?}}
Results in your browser: Je suis Français. How's it going, eh?
Why is this not used more? edit
Is this not something that we should be using all over the place? There are currently only about 180 articles that use it... Texugo (talk) 12:31, 27 February 2014 (UTC)
- Probably because it is extremely subtle. I do get why it is useful, but not sure how we would really promote this. Andrewssi2 (talk) 12:54, 27 February 2014 (UTC)
- If it were mentioned in our guidelines and at times in the Pub, I suppose more regulars would come to know it. –LPfi (talk) 16:43, 1 September 2021 (UTC)
Documentation to /doc? edit
Part of the documentation is now on the template page proper, not on the /doc subpage. Is there some reason? Can it simply be cut-and-pasted over? –LPfi (talk) 16:46, 1 September 2021 (UTC)
