List of works

Each item in the list of works should probably be in a {{lang}} tag. I am not sure what language it is that is listed so I did not do it myself. PopularOutcast^talk2me! 01:59, 18 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@PopularOutcast:, thank you for copyediting. The works are in Gujarati (code: gu). Should we use this template even when titles are not in Gujarati script? The titles are transliterated in English here so uses English script. {{lang-gu}} is already used in lede. Should we use it with translit parameter? Regards,-Nizil (talk) 04:39, 18 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Nizil Shah, I am not 100% sure. I have seen articles with tables in them that show the word in the original language, then a column for the transliteration, then a column for the English translation. MOS:INDIA has more information and a sample table can be seen at Transliteration. I think that since the titles are transliterated, they should at least use the {{transl}} tag with appropriate parameters. The talk page over at WT:IN might be a place to get more help if you need it. I, unfortunately, do not know all of the guidelines for all of the projects but will help in whatever way I can.

PopularOutcast, using {{transl}} is a good idea. MOS:INDIA gives example using ISO 15919 transliteration but {{transl}} would be OK for unspecified transliteration scheme. Thank you,-Nizil (talk) 05:56, 18 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Here are the examples= Non-specified scheme: Avinashi Avinash, ISO 15919: avināśī avināś. I would go for non-specified scheme for better readability and easy understanding for readers.-Nizil (talk) 06:21, 18 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

WP:NCIN#Naming and transliteration recommends primary transliteration in priority followed by simplified transliteration and formal transliteration. Wikipedia:Indic transliteration helps in transliteration.-Nizil (talk) 06:43, 18 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Nizil Shah , you seem to be figuring it out. I have never had to transliterate any language and while I could have just put each word in a tag, I did not know from where the Latin script came. It's better if someone who knows the language, or how the original script came to be in Latin script, edits the list. As for the difference between ISO and non-specified, it's up to you. As someone who does not read any Indic languages, the ISO version gives me a better idea of the pronunciation. I was reading Avinash as ah-vi-nash instead of ah-vi-naysh-eye (I know there are better ways to show this but this is easy right now). However, my understanding is that younger people than I in the United States have not been taught how vowels are written to express their sounds. So, I leave it up to you. Good luck and thanks for taking this on. PopularOutcast^talk2me! 17:36, 18 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
