Usage of IPA pronunciation templates
[ಬದಲಾಯಿಸಿ]Wikipedia offers several templates for proper display of IPA transcriptions.
IPA font
[ಬದಲಾಯಿಸಿ]In general, IPA symbols on a page should be enclosed in the {{IPA}} template, which formats the text in an IPA-producing font. If a substantial portion of a page uses IPA, it is customary to post notice of that fact with {{IPA notice|lang=en}}, though each token still requires the {{IPA}} template for proper formatting.
If there are not enough occurrences to warrant a notice, then consider a template that links to an IPA key for the first instance of the IPA on a page or section.
English words
[ಬದಲಾಯಿಸಿ]For English words, in a broad, non-regional transcription, as when giving the pronunciation of a key word in an article, use templates linking to Help:IPA for English, a chart of the subset of the IPA that is relevant to English:
{{IPA-en}}, appearing as: English pronunciation: /word/ (also /word/, English: /word/, pronounced /word/, as hereafter).{{IPAc-en}}, which automates the conversion to IPA, so that{{IPAc-en|'|w|3r|d}}appears as /ˈwɜrd/. This provides mouse-over links to the symbols, and is now the preferred template.
Foreign words
[ಬದಲಾಯಿಸಿ]For foreign words that are not assimilated into English, regional pronunciations of English words, and non-standard English dialects, use templates linking to the more general Help:IPA chart, containing all major IPA symbols:
{{IPA-all}}, appearing as: IPA: [word]. Or:- For specific languages, there may be dedicated IPA keys for standardized transcription. There are several options for their display. The first cell includes the ISO code of the language; the second is the transcription; the third keys an introductory phrase; and the fourth is space for a sound file. Using the French word eau [o] as an example, we have the default format:
{{IPA-fr|o}}→ French pronunciation: [o]
- Or the word "pronounced" can be used as the introduction:
{{IPA-fr|o|pron}}→ pronounced: [o]
- Language name only:
{{IPA-fr|o|lang}}→ French: [o]
- "IPA" only:
{{IPA-fr|o|IPA}}→ IPA: [o]
- Link only:
{{IPA-fr|o|}}→ [o]
- Any of these may be combined with a sound file:
{{IPA-fr|o|lang|Fr-eau.ogg}}→ French: [o] (
)
- For the default introductory phrase, however, a placeholder such as “-” is required:
{{IPA-fr|o|-|Fr-eau.ogg}}→ French pronunciation: [o] ( )
IPA-all for not-supported languages
[ಬದಲಾಯಿಸಿ]Redirects have been created for languages which do not yet have dedicated templates. Transcriptions which use these redirects will link to {{IPA-all}} for the time being; when a language-specific template is created the articles will be linked correctly. For example, you can use {{IPA-jv|word}} for Javanese, but for the moment it will be redirected to {{IPA-all}}, producing IPA: [word].

Conversion to IPA
