Templet:Transl
{2}
Purpose
This template is intended to unify all "transliteration" templates (like {IAST}, {ISOtranslit}, {ArabDIN}
. These templates are still usable, but they just transclude this one (e.g. {IAST|saṃskṛtam}
is a shortcut for {transl|sa|IAST|saṃskṛtam}
), and {ArabDIN|...}
for {transl|ar|DIN|...}
.
The transliteration is marked as belonging in the "latinx" class of MediaWiki:Common.css (note, this renders obsolete the "IAST" class formerly used by {IAST}).
This template is kept separate from {lang} to address formatting issues (via css classes) and identification of transliteration schemes used. Ultimately, if these concerns are smartly addressed in the css file and/or in {lang}, using {transl|xx|...}
should be equivalent to using {lang|xx-Latn|...}
, viz. stating that the string is a Romanization by adding "-Latn" to the language code.
Usage
There are two ways of using this template: with or without specifying the transliteration scheme used:
- two parameters, with ISO 639 language code:
{transl|ar|al-Khwarizmi}
means that "al-Khwarizmi" is a transliteration from the Arabic in a loose or unspecified scheme. - two parameters, with ISO 15924 script code:
{transl|Ogam|MAQI}
means that "MAQI" transliterates an Ogham inscription without specifying the language. Potentially useful when writing systems themselves are under discussion, e.g.{transl|Cyrl|š}
, not{transl|cu|š}
or{transl|ru|š}
when discussing the letter Templet:Script.
- three parameters, with ISO 639 language code:
{transl|ar|DIN|al-Ḫuwārizmī} / {transl|ar|ALA|al-Khwārizmī}
the second parameter specifies the scheme used (DIN vs. ALA). - three parameters, with ISO 15924 script code:
{transl|Arab|DIN|Ḫ} vs {transl|Arab|ALA|Kh}
for Templet:Script.
