Does not work

[edit]

This template does not work,apparently because {{int:Lang}} does not work here. Zolo

Yes, to fixed this bug I proposed a solution at Project chat. Wikidata:Project chat#Why not use the system developed on Commons? Raoli (talk) 13:46, 12 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Ok thanks. Actually I have heard oomplaints on Commons about the "int:lang" system (I do not know acactly why). Plus I think that there is rather careful thinking about the internationalization process here, additional features compared to Commons (for instance the Translate extensions). Apparently, some things remain to be done, see for instance Wikidata:Project_chat#Proposed_changes_to_interface_pages. So it may be better to wait a bit, or to ask for advice from Wikidata developers. .Zolo (talk) 14:22, 12 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Fallback

[edit]

Can this template declare a fallback, like:

{{LangSwitch |de = wort |en = word |es = palabra |fr = mot |fallback=Foo}}

so that (in this example) for all languages except de,en.es,fr, it would display "Foo"? Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 11:00, 18 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
