 | This template should always be substituted (i.e., use {{subst:Dual fluency request}}). |
 | If you plan to make breaking changes to this template, move it, or nominate it for deletion, please notify Twinkle's users and maintainers at Wikipedia talk:Twinkle as a courtesy, as the standard installation of Twinkle adds and removes this template. Thank you! |
This template is used in conjunction with {{cleanup translation}} and {{rough translation}} and provides standardized text for those posting translation-related requests at Wikipedia:Pages needing translation into English. This template should always be substituted, and should always be followed by the four tilde signature indicator.
Usage[edit]
{{subst:Duflu|pg=ArticleName|language=LanguageName}} ~~~~
{{subst:Duflu|pg=ArticleName|language=LanguageName|comments=...}} ~~~~
Parameters[edit]
There are four named parameters, one required and three optional:
|pg=- name of the article on English Wikipedia. (required)|language=– name of the language, fully spelled out; example:Spanish. (recommended)|comments=Free text. Anything placed here will be appended to the rendered text. (optional)|orig=– a 2 or 3-letter language code, followed by a colon and the name of the article on the non-English Wikipedia; example:de:München. (optional; discouraged)
Note: param |orig= was formerly recommended in order to generate the link to the foreign article, however now it is discouraged as the template derives it automatically from Wikidata information using the |language= parameter. Param |orig= may still be used to override Wikidata information or to supply a foreign link if the English article has not been attached to Wikidata.
Examples[edit]
A simple example:
{{subst:Duflu|pg=Nuclear submarine|language=French}}~~~~
generates:
====[[Nuclear submarine]]====The original article, ''[[:fr:Sous-marin nucléaire|Sous-marin nucléaire]]'', is in French. ~~~~
This renders as:
- The original article, Sous-marin nucléaire, is in French. /your signature/
