Template:Translate/doc
How to help translate
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
"Patch notes": { "en": "Patch notes", "ru": "Содержание обновления" }
to
"Patch notes": { "en": "Patch notes", "ru": "Содержание обновления", "es": "Notas de revision" }
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.
Example
Without providing lang_override, the language will be detected based on the subpage the user is on, i.e. /Abrams/es will be detected as a spanish page.
{{Translate|Patch notes}}
Outputs
Patch notes
{{Translate|Patch notes|ru}}
Outputs
Содержание обновления
If translation to that language does not yet exist, it will default to the english translation, and add {{NeedsTranslation}}
at the end.
{{Translate|Patch notes|zh}}
Outputs
Patch notes[nt]
