Transclusion error

If this template is used outside of File: namespace, it produces an error. To fix this error, uses of {{En}} without parameters should usually be replaced by {{In lang|en}} (or just the language name) and uses with a parameter by {{Langx|en}}. In a cite, to fix |language={{En}} simply remove the curly braces to leave |language=en.
