Purpose
</translate>
<translate> This helper template can be used to link to [[<tvar name=1>Special:LanguageStats</tvar>|translatable pages]] in the user's language.</translate>
<translate> It uses the special page prefix <tvar name=1>Special:MyLanguage/
</tvar>, which checks if there is a translated version of a page in the user's language, and links to it if there is one, and links to a fallback language where available, or the default wiki language version (English in MediaWiki) if there isn't.</translate>
<translate> It should be used in translated pages, so that they link to the right page even if there is no translated page in that language.
Usage
</translate> Template:Localized link/doc
<translate>
If the "<tvar name=1>nsp
</tvar>" parameter is not defined, as link text this displays the full pagename (including the namespace); otherwise — if the "<tvar name=1>nsp
</tvar>" parameter is defined to any value the link text displays the short pagename (without the namespace).

Usage in translatable pages
On pages prepared for translation with the <tvar name=1>Extension:Translate </tvar> extension, this template may be used in three ways. </translate>
- <translate> Substitute this template, then embed the wikilink target in a <tvar name=1><syntaxhighlight lang="html" inline="1">Template:^(tvar name=idTemplate:)^...Template:^(/tvarTemplate:)^</syntaxhighlight></tvar>, separate from the translatable text of the link.</translate>
- <translate> For example, instead of <tvar name=1>
{{ll|Communication|About communication}}
</tvar>, the translation markup in the translatable page will be <tvar name=2><syntaxhighlight lang="html" inline="1">[[Template:^(tvar name=1Template:)^Special:MyLanguage/CommunicationTemplate:^(/tvarTemplate:)^|About communication]]</syntaxhighlight></tvar>.</translate>
- <translate> For example, instead of <tvar name=1>
- <translate> Alternatively, exclude this code from the translatable section.</translate>
- <translate> For example, for <tvar name=1>
some text {{ll|Communication|About communication}} some text
</tvar>, the translation markup in the translatable page will be:</translate> - <syntaxhighlight lang="html" inline="1">Template:^(translateTemplate:)^some textTemplate:^(/translateTemplate:)^ {{ll|Communication|2=Template:^(translateTemplate:)^About communicationTemplate:^(/translateTemplate:)^}} Template:^(translateTemplate:)^some textTemplate:^(/translateTemplate:)^</syntaxhighlight>
- <translate> This is useful for bulleted lists of links, e.g. in the "See also:" sections.</translate>
- <translate> For example, for <tvar name=1>
- <translate> If link text is the same as the name of the target page, all of the code could also be embedded into <tvar name=1>Template:Tag</tvar>.</translate>
- <translate> For example, instead of <tvar name=1>{{ll|Communication}}</tvar>, the wikicode in the translatable page will be <tvar name=2><syntaxhighlight lang="html" inline="1">Template:^(tvar name=1Template:)^{{ll|Communication}}Template:^(/tvarTemplate:)^</syntaxhighlight></tvar>.</translate>
