Template:Please Translate
[[[:Template:Fullurl:Template:]] {{{1}}}]
[edit]
Documentation
Formatting template used to mark strings of text which need to be translated. Intended for use on template subpages when new label parameter is added. For example after adding "Linkback label = Link back to Creator infobox template" to template:Creator/en, "Linkback label = {{Please Translate|Link back to Creator infobox template|Creator|{{subst:SUBPAGENAME}}}}" was added to all other language specific subpages of {{Creator}}.
The template automatically sets the following categories: Category:Internationalization templates with incorrect translations
Usage
{{Please Translate|1=|2=|3=|silent=|demo=}}
{{Please Translate|text|Creator|pl}} will be shown as: text
Parameters
| Parameter name | Description | Default value | required or optional?
|
|---|---|---|---|
| parameter #1 (1) | text to be translated (usually in English) | empty | required |
| parameter #2 (2) | template name on which subpage the text to be translated resides | empty | required |
| parameter #3 (3) | language code | empty | required |
| silent | turns on silent mode, when parent template is tagged but text from parameter {{{1}}} is not shown. Useful if we already have some text in correct language which no longer match the master version (usually in English). Then we can leave the old text and use Please translate template to tag the master template as having labels in need of attention. | empty | required |
| demo | prevent categorization (if demo=1), eg for use in the default of a {{langswitch}} (so no incorrect translation exists). Warning do not use demo=1 if there are any other uses of Please Translate in the same page, as it may cause categorisation to fail. | empty | optional |
