Template:In lang is used to denote that a text source is written in a specific language.

For citations using a citation template ({{cite web}}, {{cite news}}, {{cite journal}}, etc.), that template's |language= parameter should be used instead.

To note a span of text in a different language, {{lang}} or one of the {{lang-x}} templates ({{lang-fr}}, {{lang-ast}}, etc.) should be used instead.
