Quick start
మార్చుBy default, the name of the input unit is shown, while the output is abbreviated using the unit's symbol. If wanted, names or symbols can be used, and the output precision can be specified.
{{convert|123.4|ft|m}}
→ 123.4 అడుగులు (37.6 మీ.){{convert|123.4|ft|m|abbr=on}}
→ 123.4 అ. (37.6 మీ.){{convert|123.4|ft|m|abbr=off}}
→ 123.4 అడుగులు (37.6 మీటర్లు){{convert|123.4|ft|m|abbr=off|sp=us}}
→ 123.4 అడుగులు (37.6 మీటర్లు){{convert|123.4|ft|m|0}}
→ 123.4 అడుగులు (38 మీ.){{convert|123.4|ft|m|3}}
→ 123.4 అడుగులు (37.612 మీ.)
Feet and inches can be converted, optionally with fractions.
{{convert|12.34|m|ft}}
→ 12.34 మీటర్లు (40.5 అ.){{convert|12.34|m|ftin}}
→ 12.34 మీటర్లు (40 అ. 6 అం.){{convert|12.34|m|ftin|frac=4}}
→ 12.34 మీటర్లు (40 అ. 5+3⁄4 అం.){{convert|40|ft|6|in|m}}
→ 40 అడుగులు 6 అంగుళాలు (12.34 మీ.){{convert|5+3/4|in|mm}}
→ 5+3⁄4 అంగుళాలు (150 mమీ.){{convert|5+3/4|in|mm|0}}
→ 5+3⁄4 అంగుళాలు (146 mమీ.)
To avoid overlinking, units are not normally linked, but they can be when needed.
{{convert|12300|m2|rood|abbr=off|lk=out}}
→ 12,300 చదరపు మీటర్లు (12.2 roods){{convert|12.2|rood|m2|abbr=off|lk=in}}
→ 12.2 roods (12,300 చదరపు మీటర్లు){{convert|12300|m2|rood|abbr=off|lk=on}}
→ 12,300 చదరపు మీటర్లు (12.2 roods)
A convert can be used in an adjectival phrase, and user-specified text can be inserted.
{{convert|1500|ft|m|adj=on}}
→ 1,500-అడుగు (460 మీ.){{convert|1500|ft|m|adj=mid|-long}}
→ 1,500-అడుగు-long (460 మీ.)
If no output unit is specified, a default is used.
{{convert|123.4|ft}}
→ 123.4 అడుగులు (37.6 మీ.){{convert|123.4|ft|abbr=on}}
→ 123.4 అ. (37.6 మీ.){{convert|1500|ft||adj=mid|-long}}
→ 1,500-అడుగు-long (460 మీ.)
The last example used ||
to explicitly show that the output unit has been omitted. If that is not done, the result is an error, and holding the mouse over the error message shows that "-long
" is misinterpreted as the output unit.
{{convert|1500|ft|adj=mid|-long}}
→ 1,500-అడుగు ([convert: unknown unit])
The input and outputs can be "flipped".
{{convert|12300|m2|rood|abbr=off|order=flip}}
→ 12.2 roods (12,300 చదరపు మీటర్లు)
- In a flipped conversion, an option such as
|lk=out
means "link the right-hand side".{{convert|12300|m2|rood|abbr=off|lk=out|order=flip}}
→ 12.2 roods (12,300 చదరపు మీటర్లు){{convert|12300|m2|rood|abbr=off|lk=in|order=flip}}
→ 12.2 roods (12,300 చదరపు మీటర్లు){{convert|12300|m2|rood|abbr=off|lk=on|order=flip}}
→ 12.2 roods (12,300 చదరపు మీటర్లు)
The input value can be written out in words.
{{convert|5|mi|km|spell=in|0}}
→ five మైళ్లు (8 కి.మీ.){{convert|5|mi|km|spell=In|0}}
→ Five మైళ్లు (8 కి.మీ.)
Ranges of values are supported.
{{convert|3|-|6|ft}}
→ 3–6 అడుగులు (0.91–1.83 మీ.){{convert|3|to|6|ft|abbr=off|sp=us}}
→ 3 నుండి 6 అడుగులు (0.91 నుండి 1.83 మీటర్లు)
A range can use more than two values.
{{convert|100|x|120|x|210|mm|in}}
→ 100 by 120 by 210 మిల్లీమీటర్లు (3.9 అం. × 4.7 అం. × 8.3 అం.){{convert|100|x|120|x|210|mm|in|abbr=on}}
→ 100 mమీ. × 120 mమీ. × 210 mమీ. (3.9 అం. × 4.7 అం. × 8.3 అం.){{convert|100|by|120|by|210|mm|in}}
→ 100 x 120 x 210 మిల్లీమీటర్లు (3.9 x 4.7 x 8.3 అం.)
Some input units consist of multiple components.
{{convert|5|ft|8|in}}
→ 5 అడుగులు 8 అంగుళాలు (1.73 మీ.){{convert|11|st|3|lb|kg}}
→ 11 stone 3 పౌన్లు (71 కి.గ్రా.)
A conversion can show output in several different units.
{{convert|123|nmi|km mi}}
→ 123 nautical miles (228 కి.మీ.; 142 మై.){{convert|123|hPa|psi inHg|abbr=on|lk=on}}
→ 123 hPa (1.78 psi; 3.6 inHg)
Some outputs consist of multiple units. Note that unlike conversion to several different units, the abbreviations here are run together with no space.
{{convert|123.4|m|ydftin}}
→ 123.4 మీటర్లు (134 yd 2 అ. 10 అం.){{convert|123.4|kg|stlb}}
→ 123.4 కిలోగ్రాములు (19 st 6 పౌ.)
- Abbreviations must be used for the units.
{{convert|123.4|m|yardfootinch}}
→ 123.4 m Error in convert: Unit name "yardfootinch" is not known
Rounding
మార్చుBy default, the output value is rounded to adjust its precision to match that of the input. An input such as 1234 is interpreted as 1234 ± 0.5, while 1200 is interpreted as 1200 ± 50, and the output value is displayed accordingly, taking into account the scale factor used in the conversion.
If the default is not wanted, the precision of output values can be specified using:
|N
(whereN
is a number) displays N digits after the decimal mark (round output to N decimal places).|-N
(where-N
is a negative number) replaces N digits before the decimal mark with zero (round output to nearest 10N).|sigfig=N
(whereN
is a positive number) to specify the number of significant digits (round output to N significant figures).|round=5
to round the output to the nearest multiple of 5. Theround
value can be 0.5, 5, 10, 25 or 50.
Examples:
{{convert|1234|ft|m}}
→ 1,234 అడుగులు (376 మీ.){{convert|1234|ft|m|2}}
→ 1,234 అడుగులు (376.12 మీ.){{convert|1234|ft|m|-1}}
→ 1,234 అడుగులు (380 మీ.){{convert|1234|ft|m|round=5}}
→ 1,234 అడుగులు (375 మీ.){{convert|1234|ft|m|round=10}}
→ 1,234 అడుగులు (380 మీ.){{convert|1234|ft|m|round=25}}
→ 1,234 అడుగులు (375 మీ.){{convert|1234|ft|m|round=50}}
→ 1,234 అడుగులు (400 మీ.){{convert|1234|ft|m|sigfig=2}}
→ 1,234 అడుగులు (380 మీ.){{convert|1234|ft|m|sigfig=4}}
→ 1,234 అడుగులు (376.1 మీ.){{convert|1230|ft|m}}
→ 1,230 అడుగులు (370 మీ.){{convert|1230|ft|m|0}}
→ 1,230 అడుగులు (375 మీ.){{convert|1230|ft|m|1}}
→ 1,230 అడుగులు (374.9 మీ.){{convert|5670|sqft}}
→ 5,670 square feet (527 మీ2){{convert|5670|sqft|-2}}
→ 5,670 square feet (500 మీ2){{convert|7x8x12|ft|abbr=on|round=0.5}}
→ 7 అ. × 8 అ. × 12 అ. (2 మీ. × 2.5 మీ. × 3.5 మీ.)
An input value such as 5000 is assumed to have one significant figure, while 5001 has four. If wanted, "5000." can be used to specify an input number that has four significant figures.
{{convert|5000|m}}
→ 5,000 మీటర్లు (16,000 అ.){{convert|5000.|m}}
→ 5,000 మీటర్లు (16,404 అ.)
Spell
మార్చుUse |sp=us
to specify that unit names should be displayed with US spelling:
{{convert|6|km}}
→ 6 కిలోమీటర్లు (3.7 మై.){{convert|6|km|sp=us}}
→ 6 కిలోమీటర్లు (3.7 మై.)
Use |spell=in
to specify that the input value should be spelled in words, or |spell=In
(uppercase "I
") to start with an uppercase letter:
{{convert|5|mi|km|spell=in}}
→ five మైళ్లు (8.0 కి.మీ.){{convert|5|mi|km|spell=in|abbr=off|0}}
→ five మైళ్లు (8 కిలోమీటర్లు){{convert|5|mi|km|spell=In|0}}
→ Five మైళ్లు (8 కి.మీ.){{convert|5|mi|km|spell=In|abbr=off|0}}
→ Five మైళ్లు (8 కిలోమీటర్లు){{convert|2+1/4|mi|km|abbr=off|0|spell=In}}
→ Two and a quarter మైళ్లు (4 కిలోమీటర్లు){{convert|2+1/4|mi|km|abbr=off|0|spell=In|sp=us}}
→ Two and a fourth మైళ్లు (4 కిలోమీటర్లు)
The input and output can be "flipped", as shown in these examples. The resulting first number is spelled:
{{convert|5|mi||0|order=flip|spell=in}}
→ eight కిలోమీటర్లు (5 మై.){{convert|5|mi||0|order=flip|spell=In|abbr=off}}
→ Eight కిలోమీటర్లు (5 మైళ్లు)
The "||
" provides an empty output unit to mean "use the default".
Both input and output values can be spelled:
{{convert|5|mi|m|-2|spell=on|sp=us|abbr=off}}
→ five మైళ్లు (eight thousand మీటర్లు){{convert|5|mi|m|-2|spell=On|sp=us|abbr=off}}
→ Five మైళ్లు (eight thousand మీటర్లు)
Thousands separator
మార్చుCommas in input numbers are ignored. Gaps are not allowed in input.
In output, by default, the thousands separator is the comma:
{{convert|1234567|m|ft}}
→ 1,234,567 మీటర్లు (4,050,417 అ.){{convert|1,234,567|m|ft}}
→ 1,234,567 మీటర్లు (4,050,417 అ.)
Set |comma=off
to remove separators from the result:
{{convert|1,234,567|m|ft|comma=off}}
→ 1234567 మీటర్లు (4050417 అ.)
Setting |comma=5
adds a separator only when the number of digits is 5 or more:
{{convert|1234|m|ft}}
→ 1,234 మీటర్లు (4,049 అ.){{convert|1234|m|ft|comma=5}}
→ 1234 మీటర్లు (4049 అ.){{convert|12345|m|ft|comma=5}}
→ 12,345 మీటర్లు (40,502 అ.)
Set |comma=gaps
to use a small space for thousands grouping. If the resulting number is copied, only the digits are copied (the gaps are omitted).
{{convert|1234567|m|ft}}
→ 1,234,567 మీటర్లు (4,050,417 అ.){{convert|1234567|m|ft|comma=gaps}}
→ 1234567 మీటర్లు (4050417 అ.)
Gaps are inserted on both sides of the decimal mark. However, by default, no gap is inserted before a single digit. If a gap is always wanted, |comma=gaps3
can be used.
{{convert|1234.98765|m|ft|comma=gaps}}
→ 1234.98765 మీటర్లు (4051.7968 అ.){{convert|1234.98765|m|ft|comma=gaps3}}
→ 1234.98765 మీటర్లు (4051.7968 అ.){{convert|1234.9876|m|ft|comma=gaps}}
→ 1234.9876 మీటర్లు (4051.797 అ.){{convert|1234.9876|m|ft|comma=gaps3}}
→ 1234.9876 మీటర్లు (4051.797 అ.){{convert|1.2349876|m|ft|comma=gaps}}
→ 1.2349876 మీటర్లు (4.051797 అ.){{convert|1.2349876|m|ft|comma=gaps3}}
→ 1.2349876 మీటర్లు (4.051797 అ.)
Fractions
మార్చుAn input value can be specified as a fraction.
{{convert|1/2|in|mm|1}}
→ 1⁄2 అంగుళం (12.7 mమీ.){{convert|1/2|in|mm|1|adj=on}}
→ 1⁄2-అంగుళం (12.7 mమీ.){{convert|2+1/2|in|mm|1}}
→ 2+1⁄2 అంగుళాలు (63.5 mమీ.){{convert|-2-1/4|in|mm|1}}
→ −2+1⁄4 అంగుళాలు (−57.2 mమీ.){{convert|1/2|in|mm|1|spell=in}}
→ one-half అంగుళం (12.7 mమీ.)
If two slashes are used, a horizontal fraction bar is used.
{{convert|1//2|in|mm|1}}
→ 1/2 అంగుళం (12.7 mమీ.){{convert|2+1//2|in|mm|1}}
→ 2+1/2 అంగుళాలు (63.5 mమీ.)
An output can be expressed with a fraction using |frac=N
where N is the denominator. For example, |frac=8
rounds the output to the nearest eighth.
{{convert|219|mm|in|abbr=on}}
→ 219 mమీ. (8.6 అం.){{convert|219|mm|in|abbr=on|frac=2}}
→ 219 mమీ. (8+1⁄2 అం.){{convert|219|mm|in|abbr=on|frac=4}}
→ 219 mమీ. (8+1⁄2 అం.){{convert|219|mm|in|abbr=on|frac=8}}
→ 219 mమీ. (8+5⁄8 అం.){{convert|222|mm|in|abbr=on|frac=8}}
→ 222 mమీ. (8+3⁄4 అం.)
A fraction is applied to the output unit (if there is only one), or to non-SI units (if using a combination), except that if a precision is also specified, the fraction only applies to the hand unit.
Joins
మార్చుThe |disp=
("display") option may be used to "join" the input and output, as shown in the following examples.
Convert | Output | Description |

Extra words
మార్చుSome options provide text that is included in the output, as shown in the following examples.
Convert | Output | Description |
---|---|---|
{{convert|4|ft||adj=mid|-long}} |
4-అడుగు-long (1.2 మీ.) | Adjectival with mid-text between input and output (sets |adj=on )
|
{{convert|40|acre||adj=pre|planted}} |
40 planted ఎకరాలు (16 హె.) | Text before the input unit |
{{convert|4|m||disp=preunit|+ }} |
4+ మీటర్లు (13+ అ.) | Same text before the input and output units |
{{convert|4|m||disp=preunit|+ |or more }} |
4+ మీటర్లు (13 or more అ.) | Different text before the input and output units |
{{convert|20|impfloz||disp=x|, approximately }} |
20 imperial fluid ounces, approximately 570 ml; 19 US fl oz | Text before the output (replaces the join) |
{{convert|100|m||disp=x|/day (|/day)}} |
100 మీటర్లు/day (330 అ./day) | Text before and after the output (replaces the join) |
In each of the above examples, "||
" provides an empty output unit which causes the default output to be used. An output unit, possibly empty, must be specified to avoid the template interpreting the extra text as the output unit. For example, using {{convert|4|ft|adj=mid|-long}}
has the same effect as using {{convert|4|ft|-long|adj=mid}}
, namely that an error would occur because "-long
" would be used as the output unit. The following illustrates the error (hover the mouse over the error text to see that the problem is due to "-long
" ) and how it may be avoided.
{{convert|4|ft|adj=mid|-long}}
→ 4-అడుగు ([convert: unknown unit]){{convert|4|ft||adj=mid|-long}}
→ 4-అడుగు-long (1.2 మీ.){{convert|4|ft| |adj=mid|-long}}
→ 4-అడుగు-long (1.2 మీ.){{convert|4|ft|m|adj=mid|-long}}
→ 4-అడుగు-long (1.2 మీ.)

1.5 మీ3 | output value and unit |
{{convert|2|cuyd|m3|abbr=off|disp=out}} |
1.5 ఘనపు మీటరుs | output value and unit |
Flipping the order of output
మార్చుTo invert the order of measurements, use |order=flip
{{convert|10|km|mi}}
→ 10 కిలోమీటర్లు (6.2 మై.){{convert|10|km|mi|order=flip}}
→ 6.2 మైళ్లు (10 కి.మీ.)
Wrapping and line breaking
మార్చుConvert uses the regular space (" ") and non-breaking space (
which displays as " ") to control line-breaking (also called wrapping/nowrapping).
- In all examples below, an
is shown as "_" (red underscore): "3_ft
".
Wrapping is possible where a regular space (" ") is used. Prevent wrapping is enforced in the template using the non-breaking space, that ties and keeps text elements together.
3 feet
may break after "3"3 ft
, or 3_ft, will not break after "3"- A line break (<br/>) forces a newline (line break), and so overrules any nowrap setting at that point.
Word meaning:
- In measurements, SI uses wording that says that value = number × unit, for example length = number × meter.
- In {{Convert}} documentation, sometimes 'value' is used to mean the number; and abbr is used to mean unit symbol(s).
- Within a single measured value (number and unit)
The separator between the number and the unit can be a space or a nonbreaking space (
):
- When a unit is abbreviated (symbol is shown), the separator is
.
{{convert|12|m|ft|abbr=on}}
→ 12_మీ. (39_అ.)
- When a unit is not abbreviated (name is shown), the separator is a space.
{{convert|12|m|ft}}
→ 12 మీటర్లు (39_అ.)
- Some units do not have a symbol and always use a space (such as acre).
{{convert|3|acre|m2|abbr=on}}
→ 3_ఎకరం (12,000_మీ2)
- Except,
is always used when a measurement is in multiple units.
{{convert|1|ft|6|in|cm}}
→ 1_అడుగు 6_అంగుళాలు (46_cమీ.){{convert|2|m|ftin}}
→ 2 మీటర్లు (6_అ. 7_అం.)
- Except, if option
|adj=on
is used and the unit is not abbreviated, the separator is a hyphen ("-").
{{convert|2|m|ftin|adj=on}}
→ 2-మీటరు (6_అ. 7_అం.)
- When the name of a number is used,
is used as the separator between the number and the name. For example, a measurement spelled as "12 million metres" has
before "million" and a space afterwards.
{{convert|12|e6m}}
→ 12_మిలియన్ మీటర్లు (39,000,000_అ.)
- Between measurements
- A space is used as the separator in a join between the first and second measurement.
{{convert|3|ft|m}}
→ 3 అడుగులు (0.91_మీ.)
- Except for the special case before "[" :
{{convert|12|in|cm|disp=sqbr|abbr=on}}
→ 12_అం._[30_cమీ.] (
before "[")
- Multiple output measurements (by listing units) always use a space between measurements ("; " has a space after ";").
{{convert|2|acre|m2 sqft ha}}
→ 2 ఎకరాలు (8,100_మీ2; 87,000_sq_ft; 0.81_హె.)
- Between components of a measurement (e.g., in a range; between foot–inch)
- A measurement in multiple units always uses a space between components ("1 foot 6 inches" has
before the unit names, but a space after "foot").
{{convert|1|ft|6|in|cm}}
→ 1_అడుగు 6_అంగుళాలు (46_cమీ.)
- In a range, spaces are generally used to separate items. For example, "to" and "or" have a space before and after in the following.
{{convert|12|to|20|in|cm}}
→ 12 నుండి 20 అంగుళాలు (30 నుండి 51_cమీ.){{convert|12|or|20|in|cm}}
→ 12 లేక 20 అంగుళాలు (30 లేక 51_cమీ.)
- The ranges
+/-
and,
always use
:
{{convert|12|+/-|2|in|cm}}
→ 12_±_2 అంగుళాలు (30.5_±_5.1_cమీ.){{convert|12|,|20|in|cm}}
→ 12,_20 అంగుళాలు (30,_51_cమీ.)
- The "to(-)" range is an exception. When a unit is not abbreviated, "to" has
before and a space after.
{{convert|12|to(-)|20|in|cm}}
→ 12_నుండి 20 అంగుళాలు (30–51_cమీ.)
- The "x" range is an exception. When a unit is abbreviated, "×" has a space before and
after.
{{convert|12|x|20|in|cm}}
→ 12 by 20 అంగుళాలు (30_cమీ. ×_51_cమీ.)
- Overrule by setting a line break
- Parameter
|disp=br
adds a forced line break (<br/>
) between measurements; brackets are omitted. Use|disp=br()
to add the line break and keep the brackets.
{{convert|12|m|ft|disp=br}}
→ 12 metres<br/>39 feet shows:- 12 మీటర్లు
39 అడుగులు
- 12 మీటర్లు
{{convert|12|m|ft|disp=br()}}
→ 12 metres<br/>(39 feet) shows:- 12 మీటర్లు
(39 అడుగులు)
- 12 మీటర్లు

Units in singular or plural
మార్చుUnit symbols are always singular. Unit names can be singular or plural. A unit is singular when the number is exactly +1:
{{convert|0.5|ft|m|abbr=off}}
→ 0.5 అడుగులు (0.15 మీటర్లు){{convert|1|ft|m|abbr=off}}
→ 1 అడుగు (0.30 మీటర్లు){{convert|2|ft|m|abbr=off}}

Complicated grammar
మార్చుThis example is from article Fort McHenry:
- The American defenders had 18-, 24- and 32-pounder (8, 11 and 15 kg) cannons.
This result cannot reasonably be produced by {{convert}}. However, convert can be used to construct the required text.
- Use {{convert}} with subst to insert the required wikitext into the article or your sandbox.
had {{subst:convert|18|,|24|,|32|lb|kg|0}} cannons
- → had 18, 24, 32 పౌన్లు (8, 11, 15 కి.గ్రా.) cannons
- When the edit is saved, the convert template is replaced with the result.
- Edit the result to produce the final text.
- → had 18-, 24- and 32-pounder (8, 11 and 15 kg) cannons
An alternative to subst would be to enter {{convert|18|,|24|,|32|lb|kg|0}}
into Special:ExpandTemplates, then copy and edit its result into the article.
Deprecated
మార్చుDeprecated options should not be used. They may produce incorrect or undesired results and there is no guarantee that they will be supported in the future.
- disp=flip is deprecated. Use order=flip instead
- sing= is deprecated in any situation. Use adj= instead
- Range separator |xx| is deprecated (not compliant). Use |x| instead
- Range separator |*| is deprecated (not compliant). Use |x| instead
Limitations
మార్చుThis is a list of features that the module may be expected to support, but which will not work.
Composite units cannot be used in a range:
{{convert|2|ft|6|in|to|3|ft|9|in}}
→ 2 అడుగులు 6 అంగుళాలు ([convert: unknown unit])*
If an expression is wanted, it has to use {{#expr:...}}
:
{{convert|3*12|ft|mm}}
→ 3×12 అడుగులు (910×3,660 mమీ.){{convert|{{#expr:3*12}}|ft|mm}}
→ 36 అడుగులు (11,000 mమీ.)
