Help:Non-English Songs
From LyricWiki
Songs in languages other than English require additional formatting guides.
Contents |
Categorization
In addition to the standard song categories, songs should be categorized by language by using the language parameter of Template:SongFooter instead of manually adding it. The English name of the language should be used, i.e. Swedish instead of Svensk.
Article Titles
Titles of songs, albums and artists writen in a non-latin based script should be placed under that title with the romanized version of the name in parenthesis, i.e. 中島みゆき (Miyuki Nakajima), and redirects placed at appropriate titles, i.e. 中島みゆき (native script), Nakajima Miyuki (Romanized, native order) and Miyuki Nakajima (romanized, family name last).
Lyrics
The top-most lyric should be the song in the original language in the original script for that language. Translations and romanizations should be below the lyrics.
Romanization
Songs in non-latin based scripts should be romanized for people who cannot read that script. For more information, see Help:Romanization. Songs without this should be flagged with {{RequestRomanization|<language>}} directly before the native lyrics. <language> should be the full English name for the language.
Translations
Songs should be translated into English. For more information, see Help:Translations. Songs without this should be flagged with {{RequestTranslation|<language>}} directly before the Romanized lyrics or, in the case that the lyrics have not yet been romanized, directly before the native lyrics along with a romanization request.
Multiple Releases
Songs released in multiple languages have additional guidelines to this. See Help:Multiple Languages.
