PAGELANGUAGE does not work

It appears that the {{PAGELANGUAGE}} will always only give en as the language.

• Even on pages with "/nl" calling it
• Using <span lang="nl">{{Dict|...}}</span> has no apparent effect.

Version that allows both 'default' and 'nl' for the Dutch description

Accept 'default' as an alternative to the 'nl' parameter

What should the template do

For any country code (CC):

• If 'lang=CC' and 'CC' is given, show CC text.

• If 'lang=nl' and 'nl' is not given, but 'default' is given, show 'default' text.
• If 'lang=nl' and 'nl' is not given, and 'default' is not given, show XX
• If 'lang!=nl' and 'CC' is not given, but 'default' is given, show XX
• If 'lang!=nl' and 'CC' is not given, and 'default' not given, show XX

No description for language, then no output

Solution 1: Show nothing if there is no descriptive text in the lang language That is: XX is nothing

{{#ifeq: {{{lang|}}} | nl
  | {{#if: {{{nl|}}}
    | ;{{{word|{{{1}}} }}}:{{{nl|}}}
    | {{#if: {{{default|}}}
      |;{{{word|{{{1}}} }}}:{{{default|}}}
  | {{#if: {{{ {{{lang}}}| }}}
    |;{{{word|{{{1}}} }}}:{{{ {{{lang}}}| }}}
}}

No description for language, then only lemma

Solution 2: Show only the lemma if there is no descriptive text in the lang language That is XX: is ;{{{word}}}:

;{{{word|{{{1}}} }}}:{{#ifeq: {{{lang|}}} | nl
  | {{#if: {{{nl|}}}
    | {{{nl|}}}
    | {{{default|}}}
    }}
  | {{{ {{{lang}}}| }}}
}}

To add full= parameter

Input:

{{Dict|lang=en|A.D.|full=Anno Domini|en=the year of our Lord}}

Text between parentheses

A.D. (Anno Domini)

the year of our Lord

Wiki code:

;A.D. (Anno Domini):the year of our Lord

To achieve this:

• Replace all ;{{{word|{{{1}}} }}}: with

;{{{word|{{{1}}} }}}{{#if:{{{full|}}}| ({{{full}}})}}:

Text after a dash

A.D. - Anno Domini

the year of our Lord

Wiki code:

;A.D. - Anno Domini:the year of our Lord

to achieve this:

• Replace all ;{{{word|{{{1}}} }}}: with

;{{{word|{{{1}}} }}}{{#if:{{{full|}}}| - {{{full}}} }}:
