 | This template is used on approximately ೧೫,೦೦೦ 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. |
This template uses single quotation marks ('…'), because Wikipedia's Manual of Style at calls for simple glosses to be enclosed this way.
Usage
ಬದಲಾಯಿಸಿ{{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.
