Template:Comma
,
Usage
Use it to generate the language-dependant punctuation signs that is used like an English comma, for example between items in a list, or clauses in a sentence.
- By default, it is rendered according to the content language of the current page (see {{CURRENTCONTENTLANGUAGE}}) so it will work in translated subpages.
- If you want to use it in a multilingual page, you'll need to specify the language-code in parameter 1 (or
uselang).
Examples
- In English,
German{{comma|en}}Spanish{{stop|en}}gives- German, Spanish.
- In Arabic,
الألمانية{{comma|ar}}الإسبانية{{stop|ar}}gives- الألمانية، الإسبانية.
- In Armenian,
գերմաներեն{{comma|hy}}իսպաներեն{{stop|hy}}gives- գերմաներեն՝ իսպաներեն։
- In Chinese,
德语{{comma|zh}}西班牙语{{stop|zh}}gives- 德语、 西班牙语。
Warning
- Don't insert any space after it (this template will insert the word separator conditionally, but the comma returned in Chinese is a wide version and requires no extra space after it). Some languages also don't want any space in the same paragraph (they don't separate words by spaces).
- Commas not followed by a space are used as decimal separators or group separators for the international formatting of numbers (for example with
{{formatnum:...|language-code}}): do not use this Comma template for such usage.
