| This is a documentation subpage for Template:Literal translation. It contains usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page. |
Currently this template uses single quotation marks ('…'), because the present Wikipedia's Manual of Style (MOS:SINGLE) suggests that simple glosses be enclosed this way.
Usage
{{literal translation}}→ lit.{{literal translation|lk=yes}}→ lit.{{literal translation|i=yes}}→ lit.{{literal translation|a}}→ lit.Template:Sp 'a'{{literal translation|''a''}}→ lit.Template:Sp 'a'{{literal translation|a|b}}→ lit.Template:Sp 'a'Template:Sp or 'b'{{literal translation|a|b|c|d}}→ lit.Template:Sp 'a'Template:Sp or 'b'Template:Sp or 'c'Template:Sp 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.
Spacing demonstration
