Template:Wikt-lang automatically determines the correct English Wiktionary entry by removing italics or bolding, and removing or replacing diacritical marks and letters that are not used in entry names on English Wiktionary.
It also adds italics for languages that use the Latin alphabet (see MOS:FOREIGNITALIC). Italics cannot be turned on for languages that use a non-Latin script, but they can be turned off by using the parameter |i=-. This is useful in tables, where italics are often unnecessary.
The template will also link to the Wiktionary Reconstruction: namespace, where entries on reconstructed languages are placed, or to the Appendix: namespace, where some constructed languages have their entries (such as Lojban), if there is data for them in the module.
