Template:NewsDialogue

This template allows putting Squid Sisters / Off the Hook / Deep Cut news dialogue. It allows support for changing names and punctuation to suit other languages, while requiring minimal markup. It supports up to 16 quotes, alternate quotes (for a language differing between two regions), and translations (for non-English quotes).

The coding is as follows:

{{NewsDialogue
|game=Splatoon
|language=Eng
|:=:
|Qopen="
|Qclose="

|C1=This is Callie's first quote.
|M1=This is Marie's first quote.
|C1eng=This is Callie's first quote translated.
|M1eng=This is Marie's first quote translated.
|R1=NOE
}}

• xNB / xNBb - alternative quote text for secondary region
• Each of the quote parameters can have an eng suffix added to it (e.g. C7eng, F5beng, M3Aeng) - to add an English translation for a quote. Use this only when providing a translation from a non-English language. This allows the meaning of the localization to be conveyed in English.
