Usage

{{English}}

or

{{en}}

This template is used to designate the language used in an article's source if that language is English rather than English. Specify its name to template {{source}} using parameter lang=.

Example (language spec is bolded):

{{source\|url=http://www.example.com/foobar \|title=Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet \|author=Ford Prefect \|pub=Megadodo Publications \|date=December 6, 2014 \|lang=en* }}

This produces the following:

Ford Prefect. "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet" — Megadodo Publications, December 6, 2014 (English)

An older, deprecated style calls this template directly; put it after the source reference, with a space between the reference and the language template.

Example (language spec is bolded):

{{source\|url=http://www.example.com/foobar \|title=Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet \|author=Ford Prefect \|pub=Megadodo Publications \|date=December 6, 2014 }} {{en}}*
