Template:Lang

This is the template documentation for {{Lang}}. It is transcluded from Template:Lang/doc and may be directly edited there.

Usage

This template can be used as a shortcut to display translations of names and terms in the game.

Parameters

1

The language. Not all languages in the game are well-defined or described yet, but here is a list:

• Adûnaic (Númenórean)
• Hill-man language (based on Scots Gaelic)
• Archaic Westron (based on Old/Middle/Early Modern English)
• Black Speech and Orkish (just Black Speech or Orcish/Orkish work as parameters)
• Bree-landish (based on Brythonic languages)
• Northern Mannish (based on Old Norse)
• Dunlendish (based on Welsh)
• Khuzdul (Dwarvish)
• Earth-kin language (based on Finnish)
• Easterling language (based on Uzbek)
• Far Haradrim language (based on Hindi)
• Lossoth (based on Finnish)
• Dunharrow language (based on Breton)
• Near Haradrim language (possibly based on Arabic?)
• Rohirric (based on Mercian Old English)
• Sindarin (Grey-elven)
• Silvan Sindarin (dialect used in Rhovanion)
• Quenya (High-elven)

One word keywords work, such as "Easterling", "Rhun", "Rhûn", or "Uzbek" for Easterling language.

2

The translation, as opposed to the untranslated word. If the translation is given in the game, use that.

lit

Put a literal translation here, if it varies significantly from the standard translation.

to

Put any value into this parameter when translating to the chosen language rather than from it.

noparen

Putting any value into this parameter will hide the surrounding parentheses, for example if you want to have two translations side by side in the same set of parentheses.
