Overview

edit

This template retrieves localized strings from their relevant JSON file, based on the language code. If no language code is found in the URL, it defaults to english.

Localizations of this type come from the game files and have a file (Data:Lang xx.json) per language, such as Data:Lang en.json.

Usage

edit

Use of the {{Lang}} template comes in two forms, either by setting the key argument or the label argument (but not both!).

Language selection

edit

Selection of the language is based off of the URL sub-page name, defaulting to english if none is found. For example, Abrams/es will use language code "es" (spanish).

Alternatively, lang_code can be used to override of the automated language selection.

Examples

edit

Retrieve word by key

edit

English string: {{Lang|key=BonusClipSize_label}} Output: Ammo

Spanish string: {{Lang|key=BonusClipSize_label|lang_code=es}} Output: Munición

Retrieve string by label

edit

English string: {{Lang|label=Ammo}} Ouput: Ammo

Spanish string: {{Lang|label=Ammo|lang_code=es}} Output: Munición
