Chinese Names of Streets and Places: text direction
Is there any particular reason why this text seems to have both RTL and LTR? And may I suggest inputting the Chinese as LTR and adding a RTL template (or just leaving it alone, like I would probably do), for searchability/usability? Fish bowl (talk) 08:36, 17 November 2023 (UTC)


 * According to the compiler, more than one contributor provided the Chinese characters for place names. I suspect that they simply typeset and published what was provided as-is. Good point about searchability. I like the solution of using Template:Chinese rtl. I'll concentrate on the initial transcription of the pages, but feel free to start adding in the RTL templates as you see fit. Kbseah (talk) 09:44, 17 November 2023 (UTC)
