This template returns the name of a topical category, based on its language and subject.

Usage

This template is supposed to be used in names of topical categories, where the code for any language but English is shown.

Examples

• {{catlangcode|en|Biology}} returns:

  Category:Biology

• {{catlangcode||Biology}} returns:

  Category:Biology

• {{catlangcode|pt|Biology}} returns:

  Category:pt:Biology

• {{catlangcode|de|Biology}} returns:

  Category:de:Biology

Mechanics

Here are some exceptions, where a language code is not shown in the final text:

• If the parameter 1 is empty or uncalled.
• If the parameter 1 contains the values en or eng.

See also

• {{categ}}, which can be used in some of the same circumstances as this template, though it works differently
