Usage instructions

This template lists all official translations of the names of products, works, objects, locations, or characters across different regions and in different languages.

To use this template, add the shortcut tag {{Langtable}} (or the full tag {{Language table}}) to an article, under its own section. Here is an example of how it should look:

==Names in other languages==
{{Langtable
|xx=name
|xxM=meaning
|xx=name
|xxR=romanized name
|xxM=meaning}}

Where xx is an ISO code, and name is the subject's name in that language. xxM is the name's meaning when translated to English; this column can be disabled by adding the property meaning=no. xxR is the romanized version of a name or phrase in a language not usually written in Latin script; currently Arabic, Chinese, Farsi, Greek, Hebrew, Japanese, Korean, and Russian support this tag.

For subjects with a single dedicate article, this template should be placed near the end of the page, prior to any existing notes, references, and/or external links sections, but after all other sections. If the language table is for a certain section in an article, such as on a page listing subjects too minor to have their own articles, it should come at the very end of the section, with its own section being one level lower than the subject's main section.

footnote

Further division of languages with significantly different translations for different regions speaking the same language (eg. the different names between American and British releases of some products, as well as any possible differences between European and American versions of other languages) may be desired.
