So like for instance if a chinese person wanted to use <code><nowiki>Template:Confirm:zh-cn</nowiki></code>, it would likely be annoying to use it, as they would need to either copy paste english text or use an english keyboard to type in <code><nowiki>{{confirm:zh-cn}}</nowiki></code>, which not all chinese people want to do. If there was a template redirect page named simply <code><nowiki>Template:确认</nowiki></code> that redirected to <code><nowiki>Template:Confirm:zh-cn</nowiki></code>, then chinese people would only have to type in <code><nowiki>{{确认}}</nowiki></code> to use the chinese confirm template.
In my opinion this would make it easier for chinese people to insert chinese templates. Right? - [[User:Amicdict|Amicdict]] ([[User talk:Amicdict|talk]]) 16:23, 15 September 2021 (PDT)

Revision as of 16:23, 15 September 2021

As languages increase in number, the amount of new templates for every language to cater every other language will increase. This seems like an unnecessity. I vote Valve adds official support for languages. --Kodak 17:00, 10 Oct 2005 (PDT)

  • I created this page and most of the current template schema, knowing that we'd have an excessive amount of languages. I also agree with you, but that's up to Valve.. The wiki version is still 1.4.5, while 1.5.0 is out. Good luck with that. --AndrewNeo 03:57, 11 Oct 2005 (PDT)

Languages Category

how to add the tempate to a category?

{{otherlang:en}} {{otherlang:en:de|category:categoryname:de}}

how to link a category to the category for translated pages? SIzzLeopard 08:33, 25 Sep 2007 (PDT)

Should I add redirects with translated names to translated templates?

So like for instance if a chinese person wanted to use Template:Confirm:zh-cn, it would likely be annoying to use it, as they would need to either copy paste english text or use an english keyboard to type in {{confirm:zh-cn}}, which not all chinese people want to do. If there was a template redirect page named simply Template:确认 that redirected to Template:Confirm:zh-cn, then chinese people would only have to type in {{确认}} to use the chinese confirm template.

In my opinion this would make it easier for chinese people to insert chinese templates. Right? - Amicdict (talk) 16:23, 15 September 2021 (PDT)
