Template:Translation
Usage
Add translations
To add a new translation, copy a line for your new translation in the template. This should be in the form |langcode |status, where "langcode" is the ISO 639-3 language code (search), and "status" is the status of the translation (either "missing", "progress", "proofreading", "updating", or "published").
For example, if you wanted to add the English translation, you'd add "|en |missing".
Create a new template
Create a new page called "Template:Translation/Page name" (where Page name is the name of the page with translations). Place the following example code:
{{translation
|ar |missing
|de |missing
|en |published
|es |missing
|fr |missing
|hu |missing
|ja |missing
|ko |missing
|nl |missing
|pl |missing
|ru |missing
|za |missing
|page ={{subst:#titleparts:{{subst:FULLPAGENAME}}|1|2}}
|source={{subst:#titleparts:{{subst:FULLPAGENAME}}|1|2}}
<!--optional-->
|destination = [[{{subst:#titleparts:{{subst:FULLPAGENAME}}|1|2}}]]
|source update =
|source revid = {{{1|}}}
}}
Every first parameter is a language code (search); every second parameter is that translation's status (missing, progress, proofreading, updating, or published). You can add new translations simply by adding new lines (up to 55 translations).
Special parameters:
- "page" is the base name of the page being translated (the above code will fill it automatically if the template is named correctly).
- "source" is the original page being translated; the edit links will place the code of that page when adding a new translation.
- Optional parameters (first two are primarily given by the translation requester, usually translation subcommittee and the last one may be given by the initiator of each translation):
- "destination" is a link to the final page in the original (when translating for protected wikis or namespaces).
- "source update" is the date the source page was significantly updated (requiring updates to translations). Any standard date format will be recognized.
- "source revid" is the revision ID used to make the translation. This should be left as shown above, and filled in on individual pages as shown below.
Place the template
{{translation/FULLPAGENAME}}
Once the above template is created, simply place the example above on translation pages. Replace Page name with the correct name, as created above.
