Template:Needtrans
Revision as of 15:58, 16 February 2021 by Wikipedia>Mathglot (Make more robust to handle erroneous user input of iso lang code for param 'language' instead of a name; translate the code and do what they meant, not what they said. Note that we don't bother checking str len for 2- or 3-letter codes before attempting the translation to a name, because it isn't necessary; the tradeoff is clearer wikicode vs undetectably longer execution while the #language module searches in vain for a match. To avoid even greater confusion, this is best left out of the /doc.)
