This adds the character {{unichar|200f|RIGHT-TO-LEFT MARK|html=}} to the end of the string (the righthand side, in memory).

After this, (that is, directly after & outside of the template), all following text is initiated to be left-to-right (English) again. | This adds the character {{unichar|200f|RIGHT-TO-LEFT MARK|html=}} to the end of the string (the righthand side, in memory).

| This is a documentation subpage for Template:Language with name. It contains usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page. |
| This template is used on 8,600+ pages and changes may be widely noticed. Test changes in the template's /sandbox or /testcases subpages, or in your own user subpage. Consider discussing changes on the talk page before implementing them.
Transclusion count updated automatically (see documentation). |
Usage
Transcluded by "lang-xx" templates (like {{lang-bo}} etc.)—do not use directly.
Right-to-left
For languages written right-to-left, like Arabic, Hebrew and other, it is advised to set |rtl={{rtl}} in the language template (lang-ar, lang-he).
This adds the character Template:Unichar to the end of the string (the righthand side, in memory). It is an invisible formatting character, that terminates the R-to-L text. After this, (that is, directly after & outside of the template), all following text is initiated to be left-to-right (English) again.
Suppressing categories
If you want to suppress category output from the template, use |nocat=true. — Mr. Stradivarius ♪ talk ♪ 07:19, 1 February 2017 (UTC)
