{{Rough translation}} will categorise tagged articles into Category:Wikipedia articles needing cleanup after translation.

Usage

{{Rough translation|language}}

Parameters

There are three positional (unnamed) parameters, and two named parameters:

|1= – name of language (required)

|2= – name of language in "languages" list, if different (see example below); explicitly set to an empty value (|2=|) if the original is not an article on another language's Wikipedia, or is absent from the list of languages displayed (optional)

|3= – replaces the word "article"; e.g. use "section" for use in a section. {{Rough translation-section}} implies this. (optional)

|listed= – set to "yes" if the article has been listed at Wikipedia:Pages needing translation into English (optional)

|date= – month and year; if omitted, a bot will supply it later. (optional)

Example

{{Rough translation|German|Deutsch|section}}

Alternative version of this

{{Rough translation|1=German|2=Deutsch|3=section}}

If the second parameter is filled in as in the example above, the template will display

The original article is under "Deutsch" in the languages list.

Otherwise, the message displayed is a generic

The original article is available in the languages list.

However, if argument 2 is explicitly set to empty (|2=|), then neither message appears. This is the format to use when the original is not an article on another language's Wikipedia, or it isn't listed in the languages list.

This template will categorize tagged articles into Category:Wikipedia articles needing cleanup after translation. It should not be substituted.
