To identify characters on a page that are in a language other than English where difficulty is had with typing them as per the transcription. Pages that use this template will be listed at Category:Problematic language or a subsidiary language category [[Category:Pages with missing language characters]] if language has been identified.

Where this template is used in the Page: namespace, the page status should be marked as Problematic (purple).

where language is defined that word will appear as the language type "Greek characters" or "Cyrillic characters", otherwise a default "language characters" is used
  • texttip = guidance to the reader, if required
  • translit
  • trackingcat = optionally, override the default tracking category (which uses the expensive ifexist parser function)
