{{Meta-Wiki duplicate content|documentation=true}}
== 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 {{tl|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 <code>uselang</code>).

== Examples ==

* In {{#language:en|en}}, <code>{{#language:de|en}}<nowiki>{{comma|en}}</nowiki>{{#language:es|en}}<nowiki>{{stop|en}}</nowiki></code> gives
*: <bdi lang="en" dir=ltr">{{#language:de|en}}{{comma|en}}{{#language:es|en}}{{stop|en}}</bdi>
* In {{#language:ar|en}}, <code>{{#language:de|ar}}<nowiki>{{comma|ar}}</nowiki>{{#language:es|ar}}<nowiki>{{stop|ar}}</nowiki></code> gives
*: <bdi lang="ar" dir=rtl">{{#language:de|ar}}{{comma|ar}}{{#language:es|ar}}{{stop|ar}}</bdi>
* In {{#language:hy|en}}, <code>{{#language:de|hy}}<nowiki>{{comma|hy}}</nowiki>{{#language:es|hy}}<nowiki>{{stop|hy}}</nowiki></code> gives
*: <bdi lang="hy" dir=ltr">{{#language:de|hy}}{{comma|hy}}{{#language:es|hy}}{{stop|hy}}</bdi>
* In {{#language:zh|en}}, <code>{{#language:de|zh}}<nowiki>{{comma|zh}}</nowiki>{{#language:es|zh}}<nowiki>{{stop|zh}}</nowiki></code> gives
*: <bdi lang="zh" dir=ltr">{{#language:de|zh}}{{comma|zh}}{{#language:es|zh}}{{stop|zh}}</bdi>

== 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 <code><nowiki>{{</nowiki>formatnum:...<nowiki>|</nowiki>''language-code''<nowiki>}}</nowiki></code>): do not use this Comma template for such usage.
