Template:Lang

Template documentation [view] [edit] [history] [purge]

Overview

Template for retrieving localized strings from their relevant JSON file, based on the language code in the URL. 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 per language, such as Data:Lang_en.json for English.

Usage

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

Language Selection

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", which is Spanish.

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

Examples

Retrieve word by key

English string: {{Lang|key=BonusClipSize_label}} -> Ammo

Spanish string: {{Lang|key=BonusClipSize_label|lang_code=es}} -> de munición

Retrieve string by label

English string: {{Lang|label=Ammo}} -> Ammo

Spanish string: {{Lang|label=Ammo|lang_code=es}} -> de munición
