Usage

This template formats IPA transcriptions and links them to Help:IPA/Standard German. The transcription should match the conventions of that page; for narrower dialect transcriptions, use {{IPA-all}}, which links to a more complete IPA page.

The first parameter in the template is for the transcription, and a second optional parameter is a switch that controls the leading text:

  • pron → "pronounced"
  • lang → "German:"
  • at → "Austrian German pronunciation:"
  • langat → "Austrian German:"
  • ch → "Swiss Standard German pronunciation:"
  • langch → "Swiss Standard German:"
  • IPA → "IPA:"

With no second parameter, the leading text "German pronunciation:" will be used; an empty second parameter will show no leading text.

Code Rendered as
{{IPA-de|ɪç|}} [ɪç]
{{IPA-de|ɪç|IPA}} IPA: [ɪç]
{{IPA-de|ɪç|lang}} German: [ɪç]
{{IPA-de|ɪç|pron}} pronounced [ɪç]
{{IPA-de|ɪç}} German pronunciation: [ɪç]

Any of these may be combined with a sound file in an optional third parameter:
{{IPA-de|ɪç||De-ich.ogg}} [ɪç] (About this soundlisten)
{{IPA-de|ɪç|IPA|De-ich.ogg}} IPA: [ɪç] (About this soundlisten)
{{IPA-de|ɪç|lang|De-ich.ogg}} German: [ɪç] (About this soundlisten)
{{IPA-de|ɪç|pron|De-ich.ogg}} pronounced [ɪç] (About this soundlisten)

To display the default leading text, a placeholder such as ‹-› is required as the second parameter:
{{IPA-de|ɪç|-|De-ich.ogg}} German pronunciation: [ɪç] (About this soundlisten)

Usage of IPA pronunciation templates

Wikipedia offers several templates for proper display of IPA transcriptions.

IPA font

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}}, 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

For English words, in a broad, non-regional transcription, as when giving the pronunciation of a key word in an article, use {{IPAc-en}}, which links to Help:IPA/English, a chart of the subset of the IPA that is relevant to English, and automates the conversion to IPA, so that {{IPAc-en|'|w|3:r|d}} appears as /ˈwɜːrd/. This provides mouse-over links to the symbols, and is now the preferred template.

For a specific transcription in a regional variety, use {{IPA-endia}} or {{IPA-all}}.

Non-English words

For 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] (About this soundlisten)
  • For the default introductory phrase, however, a placeholder such as “-” is required:
    • {{IPA-fr|o|-|Fr-eau.ogg}}French pronunciation: [o] (About this soundlisten)

Languages without dedicated keys

Templates have been created for languages which do not yet have dedicated key pages. Transcriptions which use these templates will link to Help:IPA for the time being; when a language-specific key is created the templates will be linked accordingly. For example, you can use {{IPA-jv|word}} for Javanese, but for the moment it will link to Help:IPA, producing Javanese pronunciation: [word].

Conversion to IPA

The template {{x2i}} takes X-SAMPA symbols (ASCII equivalents of IPA symbols) and converts them to IPA.

Other language-specific templates allow you to enter ordinary letters (or conventional ASCII equivalents) in place of IPA characters, and they will be automatically converted to the phonetic symbols that are used to transcribe the language. The templates that are currently available are shown below, with examples:
