Template:Irish derived place name/doc
 | This is a documentation subpage for Template:Irish derived place name. It may contain usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page. |
Usage
This template displays an Irish-language version of a place name and optionally and English-language translation of the Irish name. Example:
- Code:
{{Irish derived place name|Srath Bán|the white riverside land}} - Result: from Irish Srath Bán, meaning 'the white riverside land'
The second parameter is optional. If it is not included then the article will be added to Category:Untranslated Irish place names. Example:
- Code:
{{Irish derived place name|Srath Bán}} - Result: from Irish: Srath Bán
An additional optional parameter is no_translate. This can be invoked in order to stop unwanted pages being added to Category:Untranslated Irish place names.
For example, if the Irish- and English-language versions mean the same then there is no point in repeating this information. However, it would be inappropriate to add the page to Category:Untranslated Irish place names. In order to suppress, an article being automatically added to Category:Untranslated Irish place names, simply add no_translate=true when using the template. Example:
- Code:
'''Whitehead''' ({{Irish derived place name|An Cionn Bán|no_translate=yes}}) - Result: Whitehead (from Irish An Cionn Bán)
