Template talk:Lang-fa

Not working
At least in Firefox 3, doesn't work. The displayed text is nonsense... ...and the wikitext is hard to understand unless you use a non-breaking space
 * Freidoune Sahebjam (1933-2008) was a [etc]
 * Freidoune Sahebjam (1933-2008) was a [etc]

Using, the displayed text is correct... ...but you still need a non-breaking space if you want to edit the wikitext easily -- John of Reading (talk) 08:39, 1 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Freidoune Sahebjam (Persian:فریدون صاحب جمع) (1933-2008) was a [etc]
 * Freidoune Sahebjam (Persian:فریدون صاحب جمع) (1933-2008) was a [etc]


 * The above described problem will only arise when the Arabic script is followed by any characters used in languages written left-to-right (such characters include Arabic numerals, which also are used in English).
 * To fix it, please change the source to:

Persian: &amp;lrm;


 * Where "&amp;lrm;" is a left-to-right mark used to restore the text direction. It is also used in . jonkerz ♠talk 13:14, 12 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Examples using the same text but different templates:
 * Freidoune Sahebjam (1933-2008) was a [etc]
 * Freidoune Sahebjam (فریدون صاحب جمع) (1933-2008) was a [etc]

 * Yes check.svg Done Nothing we can do about the unfortunate display in the wikitext, although a workaround is to supply a dummy parameter to the template:
 * Freidoune Sahebjam (1933-2008) was a [etc]

Doc wrong
The transclusion Lang-x/doc should be removed because this template does nothing of the sort, although it should – especially no. -- Michael Bednarek (talk) 13:00, 18 November 2014 (UTC)

Edit request, 16 October 2015
Please replace the contents of this template with the contents of the sandbox, to which I have added, which adds an option to include a literal translation. This makes this template consistent with the template’s documentation following this proposal for the parameter's inclusion. Thank you, Ry's the Guy  (talk&#124;contribs) 09:22, 16 October 2015 (UTC)
 * ❌ The sandbox has some interwiki links which are not in the main template - please confirm whether you want those added. -- John of Reading (talk) 10:00, 16 October 2015 (UTC)
 * ) It looks like the template was edited since I copied the contents to the sandbox (this edit. I was only interested in adding the "lit" parameter but it seems like it's already been done. Thank you. Ry's the Guy  (talk&#124;contribs) 10:13, 16 October 2015 (UTC)

Merged with Template:Lang-fa-at
Merged with code from Lang-fa-at (which offers a transliteration and literal text field, a superset of the existing template. Action was boldly done after consensus at this TfD. Any issues, please comment here first. Thanks. — Andy W.  ( talk  · ctb) 15:30, 23 May 2016 (UTC)

Text formatting
I was just wondering that why, on earth, is the Arabic script bold within this template?... If Wikipedia's manual of style for foreign terms suggests that text in non-Latin scripts (such as Greek, Cyrillic or Chinese) should neither be italicized as non-English nor bolded, then what is this template based on? –Rye-96 (talk) 08:41, 20 August 2016 (UTC)
 * How so? "" which gives "" doesn't seem bolded to me. -- Michael Bednarek (talk) 10:53, 20 August 2016 (UTC)
 * Oh.. Then maybe it's just me.. –Rye-96 (talk) 10:07, 22 August 2016 (UTC)
