'''Template:Wikt-lang''' automatically determines the correct English [[Wiktionary]] entry by removing italics or bolding, and removing or replacing diacritical marks and letters that are not used in entry names on English Wiktionary.

It also adds italics for languages that use the Latin alphabet (see [[MOS:FOREIGNITALIC]]). Italics cannot be turned {{em|on}} for languages that use a non-Latin script, but they can be turned {{em|off}} by using the parameter {{para|i|-}}. This is useful in tables, where italics are often unnecessary.

The template will also link to the Wiktionary ''Reconstruction:'' namespace, where entries on reconstructed languages are placed, or to the ''Appendix:'' namespace, where some constructed languages have their entries (such as [[Lojban]]), if there is [[Module:Language/data|data for them]] in the [[Module:Language|module]].

== Usage ==
This template takes a language code and one or two words, and generates a link to the correct section of the corresponding Wiktionary entry. If two words are provided, it is like a [[Wikipedia:Piped link|piped link]]: the first word is the entry name, while the second serves as link text.

== Parameters ==
{| class="wikitable"
|+ Template parameters
|-
! scope="col" | Parameter
! scope="col" | Description
|-
! scope="row" | 1
| [[ISO 639]] [[List of ISO 639-2 codes|language code]] (2 or 3 letters) representing which language the text is in. Only tags consisting of a language subtag, or a language subtag&ndash;private use subtag combination that represents a language that hasn't been assigned a language subtag, such as <code>cel-x-proto</code> ([[Proto-Celtic]]), are supported. Script, region, or variant subtags are not supported, as it is difficult to support both them and Wiktionary language tags that contain hyphens (such as <code>ine-pro</code> above).
|-
! scope="row" | 2
| Entry to link to on Wiktionary.
|-
! scope="row" | 3
| Optional. Text displayed, if different from the term being linked to.
|-
