Template:Foreignname

Revision as of 08:34, August 20, 2023 by 2 B (talk | contribs) (Because the only Pikmin game with an official Portuguese translation - Pikmin 4 - is translated into Brazilian Portuguese, the default Por should use the Brazilian flag, I think.)
Language Name Meaning

Info

This template allows putting information about the foreign names of article subjects and their respective meanings in those languages into an article. This template should be in a section called "Names in other languages", and it should follow the order here.

If the Ita or ItaI parameters are present, a link to the Italian wiki will also be automatically added.

Parameters

The language's abbreviation and M (for Meaning) are parameters for this template. For languages written in another writing system, an additional abbreviation + R (Romanized) can be used. If you wish to include notes about a language, you can add the language and an N (for Notes), but you also must give a value to the "notes" parameter. The following languages are currently supported:

  • Jap (JapR, JapM, JapN) - Japanese
  • Chi (ChiR, ChiM, ChiN) - Chinese
  • ChiTrad (ChiTradR, ChiSimpM, ChiTradN) - traditional Chinese
