|2=
The Belarusian text from the book.
|3=
The English translation of the Belarusian text. This translation is done by Wiktionary editors, unless origtext is available and already represents a perfectly accurate match for the Belarusian text.

If the Belarusian book is a translation of an older English book, then this parameter is used to provide the original English text from the English edition of the book.
|page=

Operation

[edit]

This template automatically adds the omitted bibliographic information (e.g. the year of the publication, the author, etc.) and passes it to Template:quote-book.

If the book is not a part of the supported set of books, then the book needs to be added to it. Check Module:RQ:be:s for all the necessary instructions.
