*Use this [[Wikipedia:Template|template]] in the body of an article as a request for other editors to clarify text in a non-Latin script that has no [[romanization|romanized]] [[transliteration]] or [[Transcription (linguistics)|transcription]].
* This template will categorize tagged articles into [[:Category:Wikipedia articles needing romanization]].
* This template is a [[Wikipedia:Avoid self-references|self-reference]] and so is part of the Wikipedia project rather than the encyclopedic content.
* Please do not [[Wikipedia:Subst|subst:]] this template.

===Usage===
This is an [[WP:ILT|in-line template]]. Place the template immediately after the material in question, as one would do with a footnote. For example:

:<code>Bilad Al Qadeem (Arabic: بلاد القديم<nowiki>{{romanization needed}}</nowiki>) is a town in Bahrain.</code>

The above text will cause the tag {{romanization needed}} to appear inline.

The text "romanization needed" will be linked to [[Wikipedia:Romanization]], which provides links to Wikipedia's various preferred romanization standards.

===Redirects===
The alternative name {{tl|Transliteration needed}} redirects to this template.

===See also===
*{{tl|Needs IPA}}, a similar inline template, but specifically requesting [[phonetic transcription]] into the [[International Phonetic Alphabet]]
*{{tl|Pronunciation needed}}, another inline template requesting [[phonetic transcription]]
