Overview

p.translate
Translates a given key from Data:Dictionary. Manual invocation should only be used when additional parameters are required, such as {{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
{{#invoke:Dictionary|translate|Update history}} Output: Update history
{{#invoke:Dictionary|translate|Updates|lang_code_override=pt-br}} Output: Atualizações
{{#invoke:Dictionary|translate|Update history|fallback_str=Custom fallback text.}} Output: Custom fallback text.[nt]
