lit.

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 संपादन करीं

  • {{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 "टेम्पलेट:Lit.".
