Template documentation | This template is used on approximately 331,000 pages. To avoid major disruption and server load, any changes should be tested in the template's /sandbox or /testcases subpages, or in your own user subpage. The tested changes can be added to this page in a single edit. Consider discussing changes on the talk page before implementing them. Transclusion count updated automatically (see documentation). |
 | This template uses Lua: |
Template:In lang is used to denote that a text source is written in a specific language.
For citations using a citation template ({{cite web}}, {{cite news}}, {{cite journal}}, etc.), that template's |language= parameter should be used instead.
To note a span of text in a different language, {{lang}} or one of the {{lang-x}} templates ({{lang-fr}}, {{lang-ast}}, etc.) should be used instead.

{{In lang|de}}→ (in German)

Error messages
This template has one error message of its own:
- error: {{In lang}} missing language tag – 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 Category:Lang and lang-xx template errors.
Categories
Transclusions in mainspace articles will add the article to the appropriate subcategory of Category:Articles with non-English-language sources. There are two forms of these subcategories:
- Category:Articles with <language name>-language sources (<code>) – for individual languages[1] and for macrolanguages[2]
- Category:Articles with <collective name> languages-collective sources (<code>) – for language collectives[3]
where <language name> and <collective name> is the name used in the template's rendering and <code> is the ISO 639 code or IETF language tag.
