Not working
At least in Firefox 3, {{lang-fa}} doesn't work. The displayed text is nonsense...
- Freidoune Sahebjam (Persian: فریدون صاحب جمع) (1933-2008) was a [etc]
...and the wikitext is hard to understand unless you use a non-breaking space
- Freidoune Sahebjam (Persian: فریدون صاحب جمع) (1933-2008) was a [etc]
Using {{lang}}, the displayed text is correct...
- Freidoune Sahebjam (Persian:فریدون صاحب جمع) (1933-2008) was a [etc]
...but you still need a non-breaking space if you want to edit the wikitext easily
- 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 language|Persian]]: {{lang|fa|{{{1}}}}}‎<noinclude>{{doc}}</noinclude>
- Where "‎" is a left-to-right mark used to restore the text direction. It is also used in
{{Lang-ar}}

Doc wrong
The transclusion {{Lang-x/doc}} should be removed because this template does nothing of the sort, although it should – especially |links=no

Edit request, 16 October 2015
Please replace the contents of this template with the contents of the sandbox, to which I have added |lit={{{lit|}}}
, 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|contribs) 09:22, 16 October 2015 (UTC)
- Not done @Rystheguy: 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)
- @John of Reading:) 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|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?

- How so? "{{lang-fa|دهه فجر}}" which gives "Persian: دهه فجر" doesn't seem bolded to me. -- Michael Bednarek (talk) 10:53, 20 August 2016 (UTC)
