New page

This is a meta-template, which means that it should be used exclusively inside other templates to help adding multilingual support. Because this could end up being too big, which could possibly slow down the load time of articles, use only when really needed. For other solutions, take for example [[Template:Wealth]] or [[Template:Food]] as to how add multilingual support to a template without using '''MLsupport'''.

The method used on the Wealth and Food are preferred when creating small templates. using those on a template like [[Template:See also|See also]] would make it too messy.

== Usage ==

Add the following code inside another template:

*<nowiki>{{MLsupport|ML={{{language|}}}|term=TERM}}</nowiki>

Adding this will allow users to set the language of the template without having to use subpages. Remember to alter the '''TERM''' to the desired one to be translated.

For example, to translate the word ''and'' inside a template, use:

*<nowiki>{{MLsupport|ML={{{language|}}}|term=and}}</nowiki>

This will automatically translate the word ''and'' to its correspondent on the desired language.

''Note: if no language is set, it will default to English.''

=== Adding words to the dictionary ===

To add a word to the dictionary, edit the template for the desired language. The list of templates can be found in the table below. Remember to add it in alphabetical order. Add a new line as

*<nowiki>| TERM IN ENGLISH = TERM IN YOUR LANGUAGE</nowiki>

If the case someone uses this meta-template with a string that has no translation, it shows the english term and adds the page to a special category indicating that a translation is missing.
