قالب:IPA symbol/شرح

This template provides a simple conversion table from an IPA symbol to a Wikipedia article name.

The resulting article name should exist. The input symbol may be multiple characters, or may be a sequence of IPA-numbers.

Usage

This template has one parameter that is mandatory. The parameter can be an IPA symbol, or an IPA-number. Do not use template {{IPA}} for the input character.

{{IPA symbol|m}} → صامت أنفي شفوي مجهور
{{IPA symbol|114}}Error using {{IPA symbol}}: "114" not found in list
{{IPA symbol|ɡ͡b}} → Voiced labial–velar plosive

Possible errors

  • If the input argument does not exist in the IPA symbol internal list, an error message is returned.
{{IPA symbol|pʰɪk}}خطأ: لا توجد وحدة بهذا الاسم "IPA symbol/sandbox".

This may indicate that you have mistyped the input, or that the translation is not (yet) present in the IPA symbol list. An editor can add the link.

  • Using the {{IPA}} template will break the workings:
{{IPA symbol|{{IPA|p}}}}خطأ: لا توجد وحدة بهذا الاسم "IPA symbol/sandbox".
  • Optionally, an error text can be altered from the default red error message to any text (including a blank) by using the second parameter:
{{IPA symbol|pʰɪk}}خطأ: لا توجد وحدة بهذا الاسم "IPA symbol/sandbox".
{{IPA symbol|pʰɪk|unknown}}خطأ: لا توجد وحدة بهذا الاسم "IPA symbol/sandbox".
{{IPA symbol|pʰɪk|}}خطأ: لا توجد وحدة بهذا الاسم "IPA symbol/sandbox".

Pages with an error are listed in Category:International Phonetic Alphabet pages needing attention.

Input check

In page Template:IPA symbol/check all all current inputoptions are listed and checked. It should not contain red links. Page Template:IPA symbol/check audio shows which audio file is associated (automatically) to the pages.

Notes

  • Its direct use is probably not too meaningful, but it can be useful inside other templates, e.g. {{IPA link}}. It is a meta-template.

Editing: extending this template

The entire list is at Module:IPA symbol/data.
