(See WP:Manual of Style/Titles § Italics for details.) Minor works (and any specifically titled subdivisions of italicized major works) are given in double quotation marks not italics, even when the title is not in English. (For details, see § When not to use italics.) These cases are well-established conventions recognized in most style guides.
For titles of books, articles, poems, and so forth, use italics or quotation marks following the guidance for titles. Italics can also be added to mark up non-English terms (with the {{ lang }} template), for an organism's scientific name , and to indicate a words-as-words usage.
Text can be made bold or italic using the B and I buttons on the toolbar.

'''bold''' ''italic'' An article's subject should always be written in bold the first time it is mentioned, but not thereafter.

Bold text is stylistically offset from other text without conveying extra importance. The most common use of boldface is to highlight the article title, and often synonyms, in the lead section. Do not use bold text for emphasis. Use ''' to open and close bold text.
Check the template documentation for any infobox used on the page; it may have instructions about how to deal with italic titles. You may be able to adjust the italics from the infobox instead of using {{Italic title}} at the top of the article. Or if that does not work, you may be able to disable the infobox's italics code altogether.
It would not apply to article titles. When using the title of a work as the title of a Wikipedia article, adding a parenthetical translation is, in fact, discouraged by the principle of Conciseness (per WP:AT). Examples: The Little Prince, not The Little Prince (Le Petit Prince), Les Misérables not Les Misérables (The miserable ones).
Use {{Italic title}} to italicize the part of the title before the first parenthesis. Use {{Italic disambiguation}} to italicize the part of the title in the parenthesis. Use the {{DISPLAYTITLE:}} magic word or {{Italic title|string=}} template for titles with a mix of italic and roman text, as at List of Sex and the City episodes and The Hustler.
