p.translate

edit

Translates a given key from Data:Dictionary. Manual invocation should only be used when additional parameters are required, such as {{Update layout}}, where the DISPLAYTITLE is generated using a translation key with expected parameters.

For normal usage, use the basic template.

Function parameters

edit
  • 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).
