- Style Guide - Accents |
On
words now accepted as English, use accents only when they
make a crucial difference to pronunciation: cliché,
soupçon, façade, café,
communiqué, exposé (but chateau,
decor, elite, feted, naive).
If
you use one accent (except the tilde—strictly, a diacritical
sign), use all: émigré, mêlée,
protégé, résumé.
Put
the accents and cedillas on French names and words, umlauts
on German ones, accents and tildes on Spanish ones, and
accents, cedillas and tildes on Portuguese ones: Françoise
de Panafieu, Wolfgang Schäuble, Federico
Peña. Leave the accents off other foreign names.
Any
foreign word in italics should, however, be given its proper
accents.
