Template:Lang-be

This template should not be used in citation templates such as Citation Style 1 and Template:Cs2, because it includes markup that will pollute the COinS metadata they produce; see COinS in Wikipedia.

Template {lang-be} indicates to readers the original form of a term or phrase in [[{ISO 639 name Template:Str right} language|{ISO 639 name Template:Str right}]] language. The term or phrase is the only mandatory parameter. The text is formatted according to recommendations in Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Text formatting#Foreign terms (italics for Latin-script languages, regular for others).

The template should generally be placed after the English translation of the foreign term or phrase.

The parameter |links=no prevents the language name from being linked.

The parameter |lit= enables a literal translation to be given. It is being rolled out to these templates and so may be available for {lang-be}.

The following examples show translations from German.
