Transliterations and this template
[edit]How does this template handle transliterations, if at all? I have a lot of articles on my watchlist that have transliterated foreign-language titles that, within the article text, make use of {{transliteration}}. Can I use {{title language}} for romanisations at all? Or does it mess up in the same way that using {{lang}} for romanised text would?--Ineffablebookkeeper (talk) ({{ping}} me!) 13:43, 27 April 2022 (UTC)
- Currently it just uses {{lang}}, I didn't really think about transliterations. I guess we could simply create Template:Title transliteration for that purpose? ―Jochem van Hees (talk) 00:18, 28 April 2022 (UTC)
- You can use it for transliterations by using the language code (for example:
ja) followed by the code for the Latin script-Latn:ja-Latn. That’s what {{transl}} does anyway. - For more information, see Template:Lang/doc#Transliteration or this article from the W3C. Thibaut (talk) 07:59, 28 April 2022 (UTC)
- You can use it for transliterations by using the language code (for example:
Titles that contain parentheses
[edit]This needs the {{Italic title}}'s "Titles which contain parentheses are italicised before the first opening parenthesis: Foo (bar) → Foo (bar)
". 2001:14BA:9CE5:8400:48E8:7B12:9A48:F344 (talk) 07:59, 23 November 2023 (UTC)
- Yeah good point. I tried to implement that using parser functions but it's proving difficult. The other template uses Module:Italic title to achieve this, but I'm not very familiar with Lua. @Mr. Stradivarius: I see you worked on that module before, could you maybe help if you have time? ―Jochem van Hees (talk) 22:12, 23 November 2023 (UTC)
