Parallel title in two languages
[edit]I'm looking for guidance on how to punctuate a parallel title in two languages, e.g. a title in English and in a second language that is relevant to the book's topic. The case in point is The New Zealand Wars / Ngā Pakanga o Aotearoa (book), which currently has a slash in the article title and infobox, and a pipe symbol in the start of the article text. Note that it is a parallel title, not a subtitle. Nurg (talk) 03:49, 28 September 2024 (UTC)
- What an interesting problem. I don’t think there’s a standard answer here, so I’d fall back on copying the sources. Unfortunately, checking five sources I got five versions: a pipe, a slash, nothing at all, a colon, and putting the second title in caps! It looks like the publisher uses a pipe, so that might be the best supported? ~ L 🌸 (talk) 05:43, 28 September 2024 (UTC)
- There are a number of New Zealand-related things that have this kind of bilingual title, so maybe ask at WP:NZ if they have a preferred standard? -- asilvering (talk) 10:14, 28 September 2024 (UTC)
- I wonder whether there are any Welsh models, perhaps official Welsh government publications etc? Or Canadian? PamD 20:07, 28 September 2024 (UTC)
- The Canadian context favours the slash, which must be why my (unstated) gut instinct was a slash even though the publisher was using a pipe. Looking into it, a slash the officially usage in the Canadian government style guide. If the New Zealand context differs it would make sense to follow that instead, but I now provisionally prefer a slash. ~ L 🌸 (talk) 20:41, 28 September 2024 (UTC)
- Of course, Canada also has the far superior but extremely confusing habit of simply stacking both languages on top of each other, eg "corn tortillas de maïs". -- asilvering (talk) 22:53, 28 September 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks for your input, everyone. So, nothing definitive, but I now think that the slash (which, happily, the article creator put in the article title) seems best. This does fit with the New Zealand use of a slash in official dual-language place names (not that I assumed book titles would necessarily be consistent with place names).
