== p.translate ==
Translates a given key from [[Data:Dictionary]]. '''Manual invocation should only be used when additional parameters are required''', such as {{tl|Update link}}, where the DISPLAYTITLE is generated using a translation key with expected parameters.

For normal usage, use the basic template.

=== Function parameters ===
* '''key''' – translation key (required).
* Language-specific:
** '''lang_code_override''' (optional, named parameter) – language code overriding the automatic detection. See [[Data:LangCodes.json]].
** '''fallback_str''' (optional, named parameter) – value returned '''only if translation is missing'''. If set to empty string or nil, fallback will be empty (useful for detecting missing translations).

=== Examples ===
<code><nowiki>{{#invoke:Dictionary|translate|Update history}}</nowiki></code> Output: {{#invoke:Dictionary|translate|Update history}}

<code><nowiki>{{#invoke:Dictionary|translate|Updates|lang_code_override=pt-br}}</nowiki></code> Output: {{#invoke:Dictionary|translate|Updates|lang_code_override=pt-br}}

<code><nowiki>{{#invoke:Dictionary|translate|Update history|fallback_str=Custom fallback text.}}</nowiki></code> Output: {{#invoke:Dictionary|translate|Updates|lang_code_override=xx<!-- invalid language code to force fallback. -->|fallback_str=Custom fallback text.}}
