Template:Sandbox

Many times you may want to just 'test' an idea for a template, I haven't found a sensible way of fully testing templates by themselves (as they will not get included in the edited version, but rather the saved version).

The idea of this Template:Sandbox is to have that, a simple testing zone that will not interfere with others and avoid leaving a trail of botched attempts.

Please leave this comment/text for others to read.

{{:Template:Translation/translation of/lang-{{{lang}}}}} [[{{{source}}}|{{{source}}}]]	[{{fullurl:{{{source}}}|oldid={{{version}}}}} {{:Template:Translation/original/lang-{{{lang}}}}}]

Testing multi-lingual template Template:Translation

Usage

{{ Translation
  | lang            =  <-- 2/3 character language-code of the translation—ie: en, es, ... -->
  | source          =  <-- Source page name—ie: "The OLPC Wiki" (sans quotes) -->
  | version         =  <-- Version ID# of the edition being translated or last updated -->
  | source_display  =  <-- OPTIONAL - display string to the source link above
                            default = value of source -->
  | version_display =  <-- OPTIONAL - display string for the translated version link
                            default = "original" -->
  | diff_display    =  <-- OPTIONAL - display string for the differences to current link
                            default = "diff" -->
}}

NOTE

the version parameter is the number displayed in the source page in the [ID# xxxxx] of the language-navigation blue bar. Keeping this number updated to the LAST version you 'translated' or 'updated' will ease updating the page when following the diff link in your page, as it will show those changes in the original from your last update.

Samples

{{ Translation | lang = es | source = The OLPC Wiki | version = 30534 }}

{{ Translation | lang = es | source = The OLPC Wiki | version = 30534 
               | source_display = original 
               | version_display = versión traducida 
               | diff_display = últimos cambios }}
