Documentation for Template:lit. [edit]
This page contains usage information, categories, interwiki links and other content describing the template.

This template is used to provide literal translations into English in etymology sections, mostly for phrases.

It is not meant as a catch-all template to provide literal translations. Instead, the parameter |lit= should be used wherever possible, including inside etymology sections. In the rare case where a standalone literal translation outside the etymology section is needed, the template {{qlit}} should be used instead.

A similarly named template is {{&lit}}.
