Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]
WarningThis template is used on approximately 16,000 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.
Shortcuts

This template uses single quotation marks ('…'), because Misplaced Pages's Manual of Style at MOS:SINGLE calls for simple glosses to be enclosed this way.

Usage

  • {{literal translation}} → lit.
  • {{literal translation|lk=yes}} → lit.
  • {{literal translation|lk=no}} → lit.
  • {{literal translation|a}} → lit. 'a'
  • {{literal translation|''a'' A}} → lit. 'a A'
  • {{literal translation|a|b}} → lit. 'a' or 'b'
  • {{literal translation|a|b|c|d}} → lit. 'a' or 'b' or 'c' or 'd'

For now, the template takes up to four separate translations (|a|b|c|d). If each meaning is a single word, using serial commas is another stylistic choice: |a, b, c, d.

Unlinking (|lk=no) avoids cluttering the same paragraph or list with repetitive overlinking of "lit.".

Formats the literal translation of a word or phrase per Manual of Style guidelines.
