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 "<tvar name=1>nsp</tvar>" parameter is not defined, as link text displays the full pagename (including namespace); otherwise — if "<tvar name=1>nsp</tvar>" parameter is defined by any value — link text displays the short pagename, without 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> Should better be substitute this template, and then the wikilink target embedded in a <tvar name=1>
<tvar name=id>...</tvar></tvar>, separately from the translatable displayed text of the link.</translate>
- <translate> As example, instead <tvar name=1>
{{ll|Communication|About communication}}</tvar>, translation markup in translatable page will be <tvar name=2>[[<tvar name=1>Special:MyLanguage/Communication</tvar>|About communication]]</tvar>.</translate>
- <translate> Alternatively, may be exclude this code from translatable section.</translate>
- <translate> As example, for <tvar name=1>
some text {{ll|Communication|About communication}} some text</tvar>, translation markup in translatable page will be:</translate>
<translate>some text</translate> [[:Template:((]]ll|Communication|2=<translate>About communication</translate>}} <translate>some text</translate>- <translate> This is useful for bulleted lists of links, e.g. in the "See also:" sections.</translate>
- <translate> If link text does not have to be different from the name of landing page, will be better to embed all this code into <tvar name=1>
<tvar></tvar>.</translate>
- <translate> As example, instead <tvar name=1>{{ll|Communication}}</tvar>, translation markup in translatable page will be <tvar name=2>
<tvar name=1>[[:Template:((]]ll|Communication}}</tvar></tvar>.</translate>
