This video demonstrates the functionality of the Semantic Interlanguage Links extension.
The recommended way to install Semantic Interlanguage Links is using Composer with MediaWiki's built-in support for Composer.
Note that the required extension Semantic MediaWiki must be installed first according to the installation instructions provided.
Change to the base directory of your MediaWiki installation. If you do not have a "composer.local.json" file yet, create one and add the following content to it:
If you already have a "composer.local.json" file add the following line to the end of the "require" section in your file:
"mediawiki/semantic-interlanguage-links": "~2.1"
Remember to add a comma to the end of the preceding line in this section.
Run the following command in your shell:
php composer.phar update --no-dev
Note if you have Git installed on your system add the --prefer-source
flag to the above command.
Add the following line to the end of your "LocalSettings.php" file:
wfLoadExtension( 'SemanticInterlanguageLinks' );
The parser function {{interlanguagelink: ... }}
provides an interface to declare multilingual content using semantic annotations.
{{interlanguagelink: language code | interlanguage reference }}
, the first argument specifies the language code (e.g es
, ja
) of the content while the second argument contains an arbitrary reference (interlanguage reference
) that describes content of similar nature (content that should be connected to each other) for different languages.
Further details and usage examples can be found here.
