Usage
Template:IPAhelp Wikipedia offers several templates for proper display of IPA transcriptions.
In general, instances of the IPA on a page should be enclosed in the {{IPA}} template, which formats the text in an IPA-compatible font. If a substantial portion of a page is in the 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.
However, 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:
- 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: Template:IPA-en,
{{pron-en}}, appearing as: pronounced /word/,
{{IPAlink-en}}, appearing as: Template:IPAlink-en.
- 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: Template:IPA-all, or
{{pronounced}}, appearing as: pronounced [word], or
{{IPAlink}}, appearing as: Template:IPAlink.
- for Australian English pronunciation specifically, use:
{{IPA-en-au}}, appearing as: Template:IPA-en-au, or
{{pron-en-au}}, appearing as: pronounced /word/
- for French words in a broad transcription, use:
{{IPA-fr}}, appearing as: Template:IPA-fr
- for German words in a broad transcription, use:
{{IPA-de}}, appearing as: Template:IPA-de.
- for Hebrew words, in a broad transcription, use:
{{IPA-he}}, appearing as: Template:IPA-he, or
{{IPA-he-small}}, appearing as: Template:IPA-he-small.
- for Irish words, in a broad transcription, use:
{{IPA-ga}} for Irish, and appears as: Template:IPA-ga.
- for Italian words, in a broad transcription, use:
{{IPA-it}}, appearing as: Template:IPA-it.
- for Korean words, in a broad transcription, use:
{{IPA-ko}}, appearing as: Template:IPA-ko.
- for Polish words, in a broad transcription, use:
{{IPA-pl}}, appearing as: Template:IPA-pl (NB: this does not add square brackets), or
{{Audio-IPA-pl}}, appearing with soundfile as: [[Help:IPA chart for Polish|[Template:Plph]]] (File:Ltspkr.png listen) but {{IPAr}} is preferred.
- for Russian words, in a broad transcription, use:
{{IPA-ru}}, appearing as: Template:IPA-ru.
- for Spanish words, in a broad transcription, use:
{{IPA-es}}, appearing as: Template:IPA-es.
The template {{IPAr}} can be used to generate a properly linked transcription for any language, with optional soundfile, and (currently for Polish only) offers the ability to enter ordinary letters for conversion to phonetic symbols. See the template page for usage.
Note
The older inconsistently named (though still operational) templates {{IPA2}}, {{IPAEng}}, and {{pronEng}} are deprecated, and are to be no longer used.
