Template {{lang-ar}} indicates to readers the original form of a term or phrase in Arabic. The term or phrase is the only mandatory parameter. The text is formatted according to recommendations in Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Text formatting#Foreign terms (italics for Latin-script languages, regular for others).

The parameter |links=no prevents the language name from being linked.

The parameter |lit= enables a literal translation to be given.
