Format of entries:


<code>["english"] = "locale",</code>
<code>m.fullName["Your Translation"] = "Name of flag in Commons"</code>


Example:
* Some "english" labels have been modified to match the flag names in Commons.
* Don't edit the "english" labels unless you know what you are doing!
* Edit the "locale" labels only when they differ from "english".
* Flag icons link to the article about "locale", or fallback to "english" if it's empty.


<code>m.fullName["Illes Balears"] = "the Balearic Islands"</code>
The flags supported by this table of translations are shown below.

* Translate the field in the left to your language.
* Note that the translated string will also be the link to the article.
* Sounds obvious, but you only need to add here the flags with names different than the ones in English.
* Don't touch the field in the right (name of flag in Commons) unless you really know what you are doing!

If you are missing flags in [[Sandbox/QuimGil/FlagMaster]] please request / contribute them there instead of listing them here only, for the benefit of all projects.

Thank you for using [[Template:Flags]]!

Use in non-English projects

Non-English projects must copy this table and add the corresponding translations in the right column. This is a manual task, but perhaps one day these translations can be provided automatically by Wikidata. See bug 47930.

Table of flags

Format of entries:

m.fullName["Your Translation"] = "Name of flag in Commons"

Example:

m.fullName["Illes Balears"] = "the Balearic Islands"

  • Translate the field in the left to your language.
  • Note that the translated string will also be the link to the article.
  • Sounds obvious, but you only need to add here the flags with names different than the ones in English.
  • Don't touch the field in the right (name of flag in Commons) unless you really know what you are doing!

If you are missing flags in Sandbox/QuimGil/FlagMaster please request / contribute them there instead of listing them here only, for the benefit of all projects.
