The tested changes can be added to this page in a single edit. Consider discussing changes on the talk page before implementing them. |

Usage
This language template identifies non-English text. Both an IETF language tag and the non-English term or phrase are the only required parameters. The text is formatted according to recommendations in Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Text formatting § Foreign terms; italics for languages that use the Latin alphabet, normal 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 |translit= allows for a romanization to be identified. This parameter is not supported by {{langx|<tag>|...}} templates for languages that are already written in Latin script.
The parameter |lit= enables a literal translation (in English) to be given.
