සැකිල්ල:Lang-el
Usage
[සංස්කරණය]The primary objective of this template (and of the other {{lang}} templates) is to tag non-English text so that both human and machine readers are able to properly interpret, display and understand non-English text as part of an effort to move towards a semantic web. To that end, proper use of these templates help web browsers to choose the correct display font, text-to-speech screen readers to select a more appropriate pronunciation, search engines to better index and relate the context of the content, translation services to properly interpret the words, spell checkers to properly allow and/or require diacritics, and so on.
Important metadata
[සංස්කරණය]Regardless of the label that is displayed in front of the text (e.g.: "Ancient Greek:" vs. "Greek:" vs. "Modern Greek"), this template will always wrap the supplied Greek text inside of appropriate HTML <span>...</span> tags – that is to say that the Greek text will be tagged using the ISO 639-1 language code for Modern Greek: "el". The following example wikicode:
{{lang-el|άτομος}}
produces the following HTML:
<a href="/wiki/Greek language" title="Greek language">Greek</a>:<span lang="el" xml:lang="el">άτομος</span>
This metadata identifies the enclosed text as Modern Greek for the benefit of search engines, browsers, screen readers, translators, typesetters, and so on. To these "non-human readers", Modern Greek (encoded as "el") has important distinctions from e.g. Ancient Greek (appropriately encoded using "grc" by other {{lang}} templates). For that reason, this template should never be used with Ancient or Medieval or other Greek text.
