Parallel title in two languages

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)
