Template:Transl
![]() | This template is used on approximately 39,000 pages and changes may be widely noticed. Test changes in the template's /sandbox or /testcases subpages, or in your own user subpage. Consider discussing changes on the talk page before implementing them.
Transclusion count updated automatically (see documentation). |
![]() | This template should not be used in citation templates such as Citation Style 1 and Citation Style 2, because it includes markup that will pollute the COinS metadata they produce; see Wikipedia:COinS. |
![]() | This template uses Lua: |
The purpose of this template is to indicate that a span of text is transliterated from a particular language or writing system (language script), and, optionally, according to a specific transliteration scheme. It adds a tooltip label naming the scheme and normally renders the text in italics. It also invisibly tags it for web browsers, so that they may use a more appropriate font or screen readers to use a particular kind of pronunciation, and so on.
{{transl}} is is similar to {{lang}}, which tags non-transliterated text (written in original script). It often used alongside that template, to allow non-readers of the script to interpret the text.
For example, the following code tags a Ukrainian name and its transliteration according to the Ukrainian National scheme.

Rationale
This template is intended to unify all "transliteration" templates, such as {{IAST}} and {{ISOtranslit}}. These templates are still usable, but they just transclude or are redirected back to {{transl}}. For example, (e.g. {{IAST|saṃskṛtam}}
is a shortcut for {{transl|sa|IAST|saṃskṛtam}}
; others like ArabDIN are handled natively by this template: {{transl|ar|DIN|...}}
).
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.[clarification needed]
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 Ш.
- three parameters, with ISO 639 language code:
{{transl|ar|DIN|al-Ḫawārizmī}} / {{transl|ar|ALA|al-Khawārizmī}}
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 ﺥ.
To suppress the default italicization of Latin scripts, add |italic=no
. This parameter is useful for proper nouns, for example.
Transliteration scheme codes
Codes for supported transliteration schemes can be seen by viewing the source of Module:Lang/data — the translit_title_table
data-structure lists for each such code the corresponding transliteration schemes. These may vary by language — e.g. code "ISO" means scheme ISO 233 for Arabic but ISO 11940 for Thai.
Examples
code:
{{transl|ar|[[al-Khwarizmi]]}} / [[DIN 31635]]: {{transl|ar|DIN|al-Ḫawārizmī}} / [[ISO 233]]: {{transl|ar|ISO|al-H̱awārizmī}} / [[ALA-LC Romanization|ALA]]: {{transl|ar|ALA|al-Khawārizmī}}
[[Royal Thai General System of Transcription|RTGS]]: {{transl|th|phasa thai}} / [[ISO 11940]]: {{transl|th|ISO|p̣hās̄ʹāthịy}}
{{cuneiform|[[Sumerian language|𒅴𒂠]]}} {{transl|sux|EME.GIR<sub>15</sub>}} / {{cuneiform|6|[[Hittite language|𒉈𒅆𒇷]]}} {{transl|hit|''ne-ši-li''}}
result:
- al-Khwarizmi / DIN 31635: al-Ḫawārizmī / ISO 233: al-H̱awārizmī / ALA: al-Khawārizmī
- RTGS: phasa thai / ISO 11940: p̣hās̄ʹāthịy

CSS
In order to apply a style to all text marked as transliteration, use a CSS selector that chooses all text with transliteration
in the title attribute (tooltip). For instance, if you add the following to your common.css, all transliterations will be colored teal:
[title~=transliteration] { color: teal; }
