Template:trans-top/documentation

Documentation for Template:trans-top. [edit]
This page contains usage information, categories, interwiki links and other content describing the template.

Use this template to display a “Translations” section. It should not be used for anything else. Translation tables should only be added to English or translingual entries, not entries in other languages (see Wiktionary:Translations#Project scope).

Parameters edit

1=
The gloss to show in the translation table, to give a short description of the sense that this table contains translations for. This should match the actual sense in the entry.
id=
The sense id of the sense that this translation belongs to (which should be tagged with {{senseid}}). Translation tables in other entries that link to this translation table (with {{trans-see}} or {{trans-top-also}}) should have the same id.
column-width=
A word indicating the column width of the columns in the translation table. This is only to be used in exceptional cases:
  • You can specify column-width=wide for entries with extremely long translations, such as Taumata....
  • You can specify column-width=narrow for extremely large translation boxes where the translations are generally very short and simple, such as water/translations.

Usage edit

The template should be used in combination with {{trans-bottom}}, which marks the end of the table.

{{trans-top|<!-- gloss here -->}}
{{trans-bottom}}

Personal customisation edit

The contents of translation boxes are automatically divided into one or more columns by your web browser. Wiktionary's CSS style sheet (MediaWiki:Common.css) constrains each column to a minimum width of 25em (approximately 333 pixels at 100% zoom).

If you would prefer to see more columns in translation boxes (for example, you see only one column and would rather see two), you can alter the minimum column width by adding the following piece of code to your personal user CSS page (Special:MyPage/common.css) and reducing the number before the em as required:

.multicolumn-list > ul {
    column-width: 25em !important;
}
