Navigate to [[Data:Dictionary]] to add or update keys, or create a new key if one does not already exist.
Navigate to [[Data:Dictionary]] and add the translations for a specific key there. For example, to translate  'Patch notes' to spanish (es), edit the record in the Dictionary from


For additional context about where a key is used, see [[Data:Dictionary/sources]].
<pre>
"Patch notes": {
"en": "Patch notes",
"ru": "Содержание обновления"
}
</pre>


== Tooltip notes ==
to
* '''{{tl|NeedsTranslationTooltip}}''' {{NeedsTranslationTooltip}} - displayed when the key is not translated.
* '''{{tl|MissingValveTranslationTooltip}}''' {{MissingValveTranslationTooltip}} (manual) - displayed in cases where an official translation is expected but unavailable.


== Usage ==
<pre>
Use this template to translate reusable text strings and interface text that appear in templates, such as {{tl|Update layout}}. Page-specific content should be translated on the corresponding language subpage.
"Patch notes": {
"en": "Patch notes",
"ru": "Содержание обновления",
"es": "Notas de revision"
}
</pre>


If a translation is unavailable, the template falls back to the english translation and displays the missing translation tooltip. An optional parameter allows the language to be overridden.


See also: [[Module:Dictionary]].
Similarly, if translating a new key not yet added, simply add the record that looks like the above at the bottom of the page, but be sure the last curly brace } has a comma afterwards.
