Language Name Meaning


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 "In other languages", and it should come after the "Trivia" section.

The language's abbreviation and M (for Meaning) are parameters for this template. For Japanese, Korean, and Chinese, 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 (JapM, JapR, JapN) - Japanese
  • Spa (SpaM, SpaN) - Spanish
  • SpaA (SpaAM, SpaAN) - NOA Spanish
  • SpaE (SpaEM, SpaEN) - NOE Spanish
  • Fra (FraM, FraN) - French
  • FraA (FraAM, FraAN) - NOA French
  • FraE (FraEM, FraEN) - NOE French
  • Ger (GerM, GerN) - German
  • Ita (ItaM, ItaN) - Italian
  • Kor (KorM, KorR, KorN) - Korean
  • Chi (ChiM, ChiR, ChiN) - Chinese
  • Dut (DutM, DutN) - Dutch
  • Por (PorM, PorN) - Portuguese
  • PorP (PorPM, PorPN) - Portuguese from Portugal
  • PorB (PorBM, PorBN) - Portuguese from Brazil
