Template talk:Title language

Transliterations and this template
How does this template handle transliterations, if at all? I have a lot of articles on my watchlist that have transliterated foreign-language titles that, within the article text, make use of transliteration. Can I use title language for romanisations at all? Or does it mess up in the same way that using lang for romanised text would?--Ineffablebookkeeper (talk) (&#123;&#123;ping&#125;&#125; me!) 13:43, 27 April 2022 (UTC)


 * Currently it just uses lang, I didn't really think about transliterations. I guess we could simply create Template:Title transliteration for that purpose? &horbar;Jochem van Hees (talk) 00:18, 28 April 2022 (UTC)
 * You can use it for transliterations by using the language code (for example: ) followed by the code for the Latin script  :  . That’s what transl does anyway.

Titles that contain parentheses
This needs the Italic title's "Titles which contain parentheses are italicised before the first opening parenthesis: Foo (bar) → Foo (bar)". 2001:14BA:9CE5:8400:48E8:7B12:9A48:F344 (talk) 07:59, 23 November 2023 (UTC)


 * Yeah good point. I tried to implement that using parser functions but it's proving difficult. The other template uses Module:Italic title to achieve this, but I'm not very familiar with Lua. I see you worked on that module before, could you maybe help if you have time? &horbar;Jochem van Hees (talk) 22:12, 23 November 2023 (UTC)
