ਫਰਮਾ:Literal translation/doc

This template uses single quotation marks ('…'), because Wikipedia's Manual of Style at calls for simple glosses to be enclosed this way.

Usage

• {{literal translation}} → ਸ਼ਾ.ਅ.
• {{literal translation|lk=yes}} → ਸ਼ਾ.ਅ.
• {{literal translation|lk=no}} → ਸ਼ਾ.ਅ.
• {{literal translation|a}} → ਸ਼ਾ.ਅ. 'a'
• {{literal translation|''a'' A}} → ਸ਼ਾ.ਅ. 'a A'
• {{literal translation|a|b}} → ਸ਼ਾ.ਅ. 'a' or 'b'
• {{literal translation|a|b|c|d}} → ਸ਼ਾ.ਅ. '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 "ਸ਼ਾ.ਅ.".

Formats the literal translation of a word or phrase per Manual of Style guidelines.
