Template:Native name
An inline formatting template, based on {{lang}} and {{ISO 639 name}}, for indicating the language in which a native name has been given. By default, the native name is displayed in italics, followed by the language's name in a smaller-sized parenthesis. For example:
- Deutschland(German)
The template's defaults can be overridden and the parenthesis excluded, in which case there may be no visible changes to the text where it's used. AnHTMLspan,however, still identifies the native name as a linguistic element, meaning that web browsers andscreen readerscan select a particular font, formatting, pronunciation, etc., for it.
Syntax
[change source]- Common
{{native name|ISO 639language code|the native name}}
The code for the example at the start of this documentation would, therefore, be:
{{native name|de|Deutschland}}
Parameters
[change source]Required parameters shown inbold italics.
Parameter name | Description and example/s |
---|---|
[first unnamed] | TheISO 639code for the native language. French, for instance, is "fr"; Spanish is "es"; Arabic is "ar"; etc. |
[second unnamed] | The native name, in the native language (with accents, etc.). |
italics (oritalic) |
Set to "off" or "no" to disable displaying the native name in italics.
|
paren (oricon) |
Set to "omit", "off" or "no" to suppress the appearance of the native language's name in a parenthesis after the native name.
|
nbsp | Set to "omit" or "no" to suppress the addition of a second space between the native name and the native language's name in brackets. Generally works in tandem with theitalicsoritalicand/orparenoriconswitches, as the automatic addition of the second space prevents the native name in italics from appearing to lean into the following bracket.
|
parensize (previouslyfontsize) |
Use to specify a font-size for the parenthesis.
|
nolink | Set to anything (e.g. "on" ) to suppress the appearance of the native language's name as a link. |
script | Specifies theISO 15924script. E.g. "Cyrl", "Arab", "Hans"... |
- More complex examples
Code and result for the same name "Deutschland" above but withitalicsandnbspswitched off,nolinkswitched on and aparensizeof 90%:
{{native name|de|Deutschland|italics=off|nbsp=omit|nolink=on|parensize=90%}}
- Deutschland(German)
Retaining no italics but suppressing the parenthesis:
{{native name|de|Deutschland|italics=off|paren=omit}}
- Deutschland
This result is the same as if the {{lang}} template had been used.
