Ŝablono:Language

This template will return the name of a language given the language code. This template is made specifically for the language codes used in MediaWiki (not necessarily ISO codes, but see {{Language/ISO 639/en}}).

Examples

• {{language|ar}} → Arabic
• {{language|is}} → Icelandic
• {{language|zh-hant}} → Traditional Chinese

The second parameter can be used to set the desired output language, otherwise it will return the name in the user's interface language (if a translation exists).

• {{language|en|fr}} → anglais
• {{language|en|he}} → English

You can also use this template's subpages directly to achieve the same effect (which is also easier on the servers).

• {{language/en|de}} → German
• {{language/zh-hans|de}} → Ŝablono:Language/zh-hans

• {{Language/ISO 639/en}} - returns the language name given a ISO 639 code (as opposed to the codes used in MediaWiki). Works for all 639-1, 639-2, 639-3 codes (you may have trouble editing it because of the size). Similar to en:Template:Language and fr:Modèle:Langue-local.
