This template is used to indicate to readers that an external link is in a foreign language.
It should generally be placed after the external link, although this is not set in stone; for more information, see the Manual of Style. English is the default language, and does not need to be noted using this template, unless there is a reason the reader would assume the link to be in a foreign language (e.g. a foreign title).
For citations, the |language= parameter of the various citation templates ({{cite web}}, {{cite news}}, {{cite journal}}, etc.) should be used instead.
Usage
[සංස්කරණය]{{link language|<language code>}}
The language code is usually an ISO 639 code but it may be any valid IETF language tag.
Note that language codes do not always coincide with country codes; see the list of ISO 3166-1 codes.
Examples
[සංස්කරණය]- Usage: {{link language|fr}}
- Output: (ප්රංශ බසින්)
ISO 639-2 and ISO 639-3 code for Asturian:
- Usage: {{link language|ast}}
- Output: (Asturian බසින්)
IETF language tag code for Brazilian Portuguese:
- Usage: {{link language|pt-BR}}
- Output: (Brazilian Portuguese බසින්)
User-defined CSS
[සංස්කරණය]Logged in users can change the appearance of the template's output using CSS with the languageicon class. For example, edit Special:MyPage/common.css and add span.languageicon { font-weight: bold; }. That would result in {{link language|fr}} being displayed as (ප්රංශ බසින්) instead of (ප්රංශ බසින්).
