Meta-Wiki translation system
Meta-Wiki uses the Translate extension to provide multilingual support to wiki pages and templates.
These templates make use of translations which have already been created within this system (database):
- {{Int string}}: Provides common messages (strings) used in navigation, table headers, timelines, and related non-sentence usages.
- {{Translated content}}: Displays translations already entered into the Meta-Wiki translation system from other pages or existing translations within the same page.
- {{Tunit}}: Displays translations already entered into the Meta-Wiki translation system from the same page.
