Template:Translatable navigation template
This documentation is transcluded from Template:Translatable navigation template/doc.
Purpose
This template is used to show translatable static templates (templates without parameters) in the language of the current page. Templates, like all other MediaWiki pages, can be translated using the Translate extension, which creates subpages with the form "pagename/language code". The template first checks if the name of the page contains a language code. If it does, it then checks if the template name given as a first parameter has a translation in that language. If the page name does not contain a language code, or if the navigation template doesn't exist in that language, it will display the English template.
