'''Template:In lang''' is used to denote that a text source is written in a specific language.

For citations using a citation template ({{tlx|cite web}}, {{tlx|cite news}}, {{tlx|cite journal}}, etc.), that template's {{Para|language}} parameter should be used instead.

To note a span of text in a different language, {{tlx|lang}} or one of the {{tld|[[:Category:Lang-x templates|lang-x]]}} templates ({{tlx|lang-fr}}, {{tlx|lang-ast}}, etc.) should be used instead.

==Usage==
This template accepts one or more positional language-code parameters (&lt;{{var|code}}>) and two named parameters:
* Code: {{Tlx|{{BASEPAGENAME}}|&lt;{{var|code}}>|&lt;{{var|code2}}>|{{var|...}}|link{{=}}|cap{{=}}}}
* Produces: {{tld|{{BASEPAGENAME}}|de}} → {{In lang|de}}

===Parameters===
* <code>&lt;{{var|code}}></code> – required; <code>&lt;{{var|code}}></code> is a valid [[ISO-639]] language code or a valid [[IETF language tag]]; more than one language code supported:
** <code><nowiki>{{In lang|cs|en|de|fr|es|ca-valencia|pl|ru|ja|zh}}</nowiki></code> →
::: {{In lang|cs|en|de|fr|es|ca-valencia|pl|ru|ja|zh}}
* <code>link</code> – accepts the single value <code>yes</code>; creates link to language article
** {{tlc|In lang|nv|link{{=}}yes}} → {{code |lang=moin|{{In lang|nv|link=yes}}}} → {{In lang|nv|link=yes}}
* <code>cap</code> – accepts the single value <code>yes</code>; capitalizes the first letter of "In":
** {{tlc|In lang|pt-BR|cap{{=}}yes}} → {{In lang|pt-BR|cap=yes}}

===Error messages===
This template has one error message of its own:
:<span style="font-size:100%; font-style:normal;" class="error">error: <nowiki>{{In lang}}</nowiki> missing language tag</span> – displayed when the template is transcluded without an ISO 639 language code or IETF language tag.
All other error messages related to the use of this template are emitted by [[Module:Lang]] and are documented at {{cl|Lang and lang-xx template errors}}.

===Categories===
Transclusions in mainspace articles will add the article to the appropriate subcategory of {{cl|Articles with non-English-language sources}}. There are two forms of these subcategories:
:Category:Articles with &lt;{{var|language name}}>-language sources (&lt;{{var|code}}>) – for individual languages<ref>{{cite web |url=https://iso639-3.sil.org/about/scope#Individual%20languages |title=ISO 639-3: Scope of denotation for language identifiers: Individual languages |website=SIL International |access-date=5 December 2019}}</ref> and for macrolanguages<ref>{{cite web |url=https://iso639-3.sil.org/about/scope#Macrolanguages |title=ISO 639-3: Scope of denotation for language identifiers: Macrolanguages |website=SIL International |access-date=5 December 2019}}</ref>
:Category:Articles with &lt;{{var|collective name}}> languages-collective sources (&lt;{{var|code}}>) – for language collectives<ref>{{cite web |url=https://iso639-3.sil.org/about/scope#Collections%20of%20languages |title=ISO 639-3: Scope of denotation for language identifiers: Collections of languages |website=SIL International |access-date=5 December 2019}}</ref>
where &lt;{{var|language name}}> and &lt;{{var|collective name}}> is the name used in the template's rendering and &lt;{{var|code}}> is the ISO 639 code or IETF language tag.
