=== Usage ===
When enumerating comma-separated lists, the final item follows an "and" coordination conjonction, but not all languages use a comma before it. Look at these examples:
* {{Languagename|en|en}} (<tt>en</tt>)&nbsp;‒ <span lang="en" dir="ltr">1{{,|lang=en}}{{Int|Word-separator|lang=en}}2<span style="background:#FF0">{{, and|lang=en}}</span>3</span>
* {{Languagename|de|en}} (<tt>de</tt>)&nbsp;‒ <span lang="de" dir="ltr">1{{,|lang=de}}{{Int|Word-separator|lang=de}}2<span style="background:#FF0">{{, and|lang=de}}</span>3</span>
* {{Languagename|es|en}} (<tt>es</tt>)&nbsp;‒ <span lang="es" dir="ltr">1{{,|lang=es}}{{Int|Word-separator|lang=es}}2<span style="background:#FF0">{{, and|lang=es}}</span>3</span>
* {{Languagename|fr|en}} (<tt>fr</tt>)&nbsp;‒ <span lang="fr" dir="ltr">1{{,|lang=fr}}{{Int|Word-separator|lang=fr}}2<span style="background:#FF0">{{, and|lang=fr}}</span>3</span>
* {{Languagename|it|en}} (<tt>it</tt>)&nbsp;‒ <span lang="it" dir="ltr">1{{,|lang=it}}{{Int|Word-separator|lang=it}}2<span style="background:#FF0">{{, and|lang=it}}</span>3</span>
* {{Languagename|ja|en}} (<tt>ja</tt>)&nbsp;‒ <span lang="ja" dir="ltr">1{{,|lang=ja}}{{Int|Word-separator|lang=ja}}2<span style="background:#FF0">{{, and|lang=ja}}</span>3</span>
* {{Languagename|ko|en}} (<tt>ko</tt>)&nbsp;‒ <span lang="ko" dir="ltr">1{{,|lang=ko}}{{Int|Word-separator|lang=ko}}2<span style="background:#FF0">{{, and|lang=ko}}</span>3</span>
* {{Languagename|zh|en}} (<tt>zh</tt>)&nbsp;‒ <span lang="zh" dir="ltr">1{{,|lang=zh}}{{Int|Word-separator|lang=zh}}2<span style="background:#FF0">{{, and|lang=zh}}</span>3</span>
* {{Languagename|he|en}} (<tt>he</tt>)&nbsp;‒ <span lang="he" dir="rtl">1{{,|lang=he}}{{Int|Word-separator|lang=he}}2<span style="background:#FF0">{{, and|lang=he}}</span>3</span>
* {{Languagename|ar|en}} (<tt>ar</tt>)&nbsp;‒ <span lang="ar" dir="rtl">1{{,|lang=ar}}{{Int|Word-separator|lang=ar}}2<span style="background:#FF0">{{, and|lang=ar}}</span>3</span>
* {{Languagename|fa|en}} (<tt>fa</tt>)&nbsp;‒ <span lang="fa" dir="rtl">1{{,|lang=fa}}{{Int|Word-separator|lang=fa}}2<span style="background:#FF0">{{, and|lang=fa}}</span>3</span>
* {{Languagename|dv|en}} (<tt>dv</tt>)&nbsp;‒ <span lang="dv" dir="rtl">1{{,|lang=dv}}{{Int|Word-separator|lang=dv}}2<span style="background:#FF0">{{, and|lang=dv}}</span>3</span>

Note also that Korean already uses a comma for translating "and", so it must not be preceded by a comma and a word separator.

Additionally there's not necessarily a space used as word separator before or after the translation of "and".

This template will match those differences for translating the whole ", and " sequence (shown above on yellow background): use {{Tl|, and}} between items '''without leaving any space before or after it'''.

You may need to edit this template to add other languages for which the comma is undesirable before the word-separator and the coordination "and". Note that the template implements language fallbacks so (for example) the rule for "pt" also applies by default to "pt-br", the rule for "zh" also applies to "zh-hant" or "zh-hans", and the rule for "fr" also applies by default to "br" (The supported language fallbacks are implemented in {{Tl|LangSwitch}}).

=== Example ===
: <tt><nowiki>1{{,}}{{Int|Word-separator}}2{{, and}}3</nowiki></tt>
renders: "1{{,}}{{Int|Word-separator}}2{{, and}}3".
