Templet:Transl

{2}

This template is intended to unify all "transliteration" templates (like {IAST}, {ISOtranslit}, {ArabDIN}. These templates are still usable, but they just transclude this one (e.g. {IAST|saṃskṛtam} is a shortcut for {transl|sa|IAST|saṃskṛtam}), and {ArabDIN|...} for {transl|ar|DIN|...}.

The transliteration is marked as belonging in the "latinx" class of MediaWiki:Common.css (note, this renders obsolete the "IAST" class formerly used by {IAST}).

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.

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 Templet:Script.

• three parameters, with ISO 639 language code: {transl|ar|DIN|al-Ḫuwārizmī} / {transl|ar|ALA|al-Khwārizmī} 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 Templet:Script.

• al-Khwarizmi / DIN 31635: al-Ḫuwārizmī / ISO 233: al-H̱uwārizmī / ALA: al-Khwārizmī
