Purpose

This template exists to help track useful redirects from foreign-language terms and redirects in their respective writing systems to their transliterated (also called romanized) forms in the Latin script. It is not a license to create redirects between arbitrary terms in any script – generally, foreign-script titles are considered appropriate only when there is a strong connection between the language and the topic. See Wikipedia:Redirects in languages other than English for details.

If the redirect is a translation rather than a transliteration, please use {{R from alternative language }}.

Usage

Use this rcat template in any namespace .

This redirect category (rcat) template should only be used with its language parameter as described below. If applied without language parameters, the redirect will populate Category:Redirects to non-English-language transliterations. Entries in that category should be placed into more specific language categories when the "from" language is known by using ISO 639 codes or appropriate IETF language tags, such as "ar" for Arabic, "ja" for Japanese or "ru" for Russian (see code list). If help is needed to determine the language of the redirect, then editors who monitor the non-English category will help determine the language and code needed to move the redirect to the more specific category.

Add this rcat to a redirect in the following manner:

#REDIRECT[[(target page name)]]
{{Redirect category shell|
{{R to transliteration|1=("from" language code)}}
}}

The {{Redirect category shell }} (shortcut Rcat shell) may be used to add as many appropriate rcats as needed, usually from one to seven, along with their parameters, to a redirect. For more information see the documentation on its template page. This rcat may also tag a redirect individually:

#REDIRECT[[(target page name)]]
{{R to transliteration|1=("from" language code)}}

This and the following are in accord with instructions found at Wikipedia:REDCAT.

Use this rcat on redirects in main article space from a page title that are:
- in a non-Latin script to a title which is a transliteration of that title.
  - Example: 横浜横浜

Example: the redirect page titled फ़िजी फ़िजी

The first unnamed parameter, |1= (or the named parameter, |from=), is used for the ISO 639 code of the source (the redirect title's) language.

#REDIRECT[[Fiji]]
{{R to transliteration|1=hif}}

or:

{{R to transliteration|from=hif}}

or:

{{R to transliteration|hif}}

The above three examples all work exactly the same way.
Usually, the redirect populates a specific "from" category, in this case Category:Redirects to Fiji Hindi-language transliterations.
If the language code in the first or "from" parameter is not recognized, or is recognized but has no more-specific category, the redirect populates Category:Redirects to non-English-language transliterations.

Multiple usage

If the redirect (from) title is found in more than one language, then this rcat may be used more than once. There is no restriction on how many times this rcat may be used on a redirect.
