Usage
| code | lv |
|---|---|
| style: italic | |
The language template {{lang-lv}} identifies Latvian text: Latvian: ···. The term or phrase is the only mandatory parameter. The text is formatted according to recommendations in Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Text formatting § Foreign terms; italics for languages that use the Latin alphabet, normal for others.
The template should generally be placed after the English translation of the foreign term or phrase.
The parameter |links=no prevents the language name from being linked.
The parameter |translit= allows for a romanization to be identified. The templates that have this parameter are listed here. (This parameter is not supported by lang-x templates for languages that are already written in Latin script.)
The parameter |lit= enables a literal translation (in English) to be given. It is being rolled out to these templates and so may be available for {{lang-lv}}.
