| =Functions=
| | == p.translate == |
| ==translate== | | Translates a given key from [[Data:Dictionary]]. '''Manual invocation should only be used when additional parameters are required''', such as {{tl|Update layout}}, where the DISPLAYTITLE is generated using a translation key with expected parameters. |
| Translates a given key using [[Data:Dictionary]]. | |
|
| |
|
| ===Parameters===
| | For normal usage, use the basic template. |
| *'''key''' - key to translate
| |
| *'''lang_code_override''' (OPTIONAL, Named parameter) - language code that overrides current language. See supported list at [[Data:LangCodes.json]].
| |
| *'''fallback_str''' (OPTIONAL, Named parameter) - string to return if '''key''' cannot be translated. Defaults to the english translation. Use a blank string or nil for easier catching of missed translations, where the needs translation tooltip will also not be added.
| |
| *'''show_needs_translation''' (OPTIONAL, Named parameter) - boolean that determines if the {{NeedsTranslationTooltip}} is appended when its unable to be translated. Defaults to 'true'
| |
|
| |
|
| ===Example=== | | === Function parameters === |
| Example where translation does exist<br>
| | * '''key''' – translation key (required). |
| <code><nowiki>{{#invoke:Dictionary|translate|Update history|lang_code_override=en}}</nowiki></code>
| | * 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). |

| ==translate_embed==
| |
| Translates a given key then replaces %s in the string with extra parameters
| |
| | |
| ===Parameters===
| |
| *'''key''' - key to translate
| |
| *'''var1''' - first variable to embed in the string
| |
| *'''var2''' - second
| |
| *'''varN''' - Nth
| |
| Ensure the number of variables passed matches the number of instances of <code>%s</code> in the translated string.
| |
| | |
| ===Examples===
| |
| Without embedment:
| |
| <code><nowiki>{{#invoke:Dictionary|translate|TranscludedNotesFrom}}</nowiki></code>
| |
| | |
| Outputs
| |
| | |
| {{#invoke:Dictionary|translate|TranscludedNotesFrom}}
| |
| | |
| With embedment:
| |
| <pre>{{#invoke:Dictionary|translate_embed | |
| |1=TranscludedNotesFrom
| |
| |2=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Transclusion
| |
| |3=[[Source_Page/notes]]
| |
| |4=https://deadlocked.wiki/index.php?title=Source_Page/notes&action=edit
| |
| }}</pre>
| |
| | |
| Outputs
| |
| | |
| {{#invoke:Dictionary|translate_embed
| |
| |1=TranscludedNotesFrom
| |
| |2=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Transclusion
| |
| |3=[[Source_Page/notes]]
| |
| |4=https://deadlocked.wiki/index.php?title=Source_Page/notes&action=edit
| |
| }}
| |
| | |
| ===Notes===
| |
| * The parameters do not need to be prefixed with "1=", "2=", etc., they are used in the above example because the 4th parameter contains an equal sign (<code>=</code>) in it, where it would be read as a named parameter rather than a ordinal parameter.
| |
| * Ensure the number of passed variables (other than the key) matches the number of %s used in the translated string.
