This template is used to automatically generate a transliteration of some text. It should only be used for testing purposes or as part of templates, not directly in entries.

If you are considering using it in a template, please consider that there is almost certainly a better way to achieve the same effect. Most of the time, transliterations are accompanied by a link to a term, and in that case {{l}} will already provide a transliteration, so this template is unnecessary. Similarly, headword templates use {{head}}, which also generates a transliteration automatically.

Parameters

|1= (required)

The language code (Wiktionary:Languages) of the language to transliterate for. The language must have a transliteration module (translit_module property in the Module:languages data). If the language has no transliteration module, the template gives an empty string.

|2= (required)

The text to transliterate, which should be written in the given language.

|sc= (optional)

The script code (Wiktionary:Scripts), which specifies the script to transliterate from. This is almost always unnecessary, as it is usually possible to detect it automatically.

|module= (optional)

Overrides the module that should be used for transliterations. This is useful for testing purposes, or for demonstrating a transliteration module before it is used. It should not be used in templates intended for real use.
