Teamplaid:in lang/documentation

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.
