{{literally
This template uses single quotation marks ('…' ), because Wikipedia's Manual of Style at MOS:SINGLE calls for simple glosses to be enclosed this way.
Usage
{{literal translation}} → lit.
{{literal translation|lk=yes}} → lit.
{{literal translation|lk=no}} → lit.
{{literal translation|a}} → lit. ' a '
{{literal translation|''a'' A}} → lit. ' a A '
{{literal translation|a|b}} → lit. ' a ' or ' b '
{{literal translation|a|b|c|d}} → lit. ' a ' or ' b ' or ' c ' or ' d '
For now, the template takes up to four separate translations (|a|b|c|d). If each meaning is a single word, using serial commas is another stylistic choice: |a, b, c, d.
Unlinking (|lk=no) avoids cluttering the same paragraph or list with repetitive overlinking of "lit. ".

If 'yes', the prefix 'lit.' is italicized. The meaning is still not italicized. Italics of either is almost never necessary stylistically.
String optional Link lk
If 'yes' or 'on', linked to the article on literal translation. If 'no' or 'off', no links.
