Template:Translit

Purpose

Creates formatted other-language text with romanizations.

Usage

For most cases:

• 1: Language code (see Module:Language/Subtags for currently implemented ones)
• 2: Original text
• 3 (optional): Romanization
• hidelabel (optional): Set to y or 1 or something else to hide the language name
• inline (optional): Set to y or 1 or something else to hide the language name, the "romanized" label, and the comma
• meaning (optional): Meaning (applied as tooltip)

For dual Simplified and Traditional Chinese:

• 1: Language code (zh)
• 2: Simplified text
• 3: Traditional text
• 4: Romanization
• meaning (optional): Meaning (applied as tooltip)

If you need both Chinese scripts but do not want a romanization, just put two separate ones with zh-Hans and zh-Hant as the language codes.

An ltc code exists for Middle Chinese, but the regular zh, zh-Hans, and zh-Hant should be used instead with standard Hanyu Pinyin romanization unless the Middle Chinese pronunciation is specifically relevant to the article.

For recommendations on what romanization scheme to use, see Guidelines:Translations.

While called Translit, this can also be used for languages natively in the Latin script, in which case it will automatically italicize the text. To disable the automatic italicization for whatever reason, noitalics can be set to y or 1 or something else. If doing Latin-script text in this template, do not include the romanization argument.
