{{Language templates}}

==Usage==
This template is intended primarily for:
* Articles with a '''high quantity of non-English text''' that has not been marked up with any language templates or codes.
* Articles with '''unidentified non-English text'''.

This includes:
* Foreign languages written using the '''[[Latin alphabet]]'''
* Foreign languages written using '''non-Latin alphabet scripts'''
* [[International Phonetic Alphabet]] ('''IPA''') transcriptions
* [[Proto-Indo-European language]] ('''PIE''') text

The addition of language templates on Wikipedia improves Wikipedia's '''[[WP:ACCESS|accessibility]]'''. In adding language templates, visually-impaired readers who utilise screenreader technology will be able to hear words pronounced in the correct language, instead of them being pronounced phonetically in English.

Place {{Tlx|Cleanup lang|article|date{{=}}{{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTYEAR}}}} '''on articles where non-English text is used, but has not been marked up.'''

If a '''section in an article''' does not use any language templates, place {{Tlx|Cleanup lang|section|date{{=}}{{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTYEAR}}}} there.

If you know the '''[[ISO language code]]''' for the non-English text that needs formatting, you can '''add this to the cleanup template''' under the parameter {{para|iso}}. The ISO code should be present in the infobox of the language's article; for example, [[Latin]] is la, and [[Manx language]] is gv.

The basic language templates used on Wikipedia are:

* {{tl|lang}} for foreign languages in their '''{{em|native script}}''' – this may be Latin alphabet {{em|or}} non-Latin alphabet text
* {{tl|transliteration}} for foreign languages '''{{em|transliterated}}''' into the Latin alphabet – i.e., the romanisations of foreign-language words not ordinarily written in the Latin alphabet
* {{tl|IPA}} for '''IPA transcriptions'''
* {{tl|PIE}} for '''Proto-Indo-European language content'''

Wikipedia also has '''a number of language-specific [[:Category:Wikipedia multilingual support templates|multilingual support templates]]''', such as {{tl|nihongo}} and {{tl|lang-zh}}, which feature parameters specific to those languages, such as parameters for different transliteration styles.

This cleanup template automatically adds articles to [[:Category:Pages with non-English text lacking appropriate markup]], or a dated subcategory thereof.

===When not to use===
*'''If there is not much foreign-language content that needs marking up within an article; instead of a cleanup tag''': if you know the language of the text, just add the appropriate language template to this text with the correct code.
*'''For the names of people and places''': though the {{para|italic}} parameter exists in both {{tl|lang}} and {{tl|transliteration}}, and can be set to |italic=no, it is unnecessary to add language templates for the names of people and places.
*'''For loanwords to English''': language templates are intended to improve Wikipedia's accessibility, but common loanwords to English are pronounced just fine by screenreaders. If you are unsure if something is a loanword, searching for it on the [https://www.merriam-webster.com/ Merriam-Webster online dictionary] should tell you whether it is a loanword to English or not; if it has an entry, it is likely to be a loanword.
