``` \def\bibhang{\ifnumequal{\parindent}{0}{1em}{\parindent}\relax} ``` seems to work instead of `\setlength` in https://github.com/plk/biblatex/blob/5b0bb276e9677d941b30e16df5f486cdcf3597ff/tex/latex/biblatex/biblatex.def#L289-L290 But is that (i) safe, (ii) really a good idea? Do we need the `\relax`?

@u-fischer Thanks for the explanation. @komascript Thank you for the suggestion. I guess an obvious nonsense 'sentinel value' is a workable, if not super pretty solution, if we want to...

Before I implement @komascript's idea with a sentinel value I'd like to know if `\parindent` in `\bibhang` is the only problematic length or whether there are more. AFAICS the only...

A first suggestion is at https://github.com/plk/biblatex/compare/dev...moewew:parindent Comments would be most welcome. I'm still not sure about `\biblabelsep` and `\bibitemsep` and whether the lengths used there (`\labelsep` and `\itemsep`) are safe....

@u-fischer Thank you for that explanation. Mhhh, given that we have the machinery, we might as well defer `\biblabelsep` and `\bibitemsep`. As to what `enumitem` and other packages might do:...

The new way to give name parts explicitly is really useful. I still think that the `biblatexml` is a bit too overwhelming for the user, while `.bib` files are very...

That works very well, thank you. I noticed that Biber complains (`use of uninitialized value in (.)`) if a name does not include a `family` part. The output is fine,...

Thank you very much for getting in touch and offering to contribute a localisation file. We are always happy to integrate more languages into `biblatex`. So far we have not...

Ah sorry, a basic "hello world" document that shows how you typeset Farsi would be enough. It need not involve `biblatex` or any of its bibstrings at all. Since I...

Sure, absolutely. But as I say, I expect this might be much more difficult than translations for LTR languages, so a simple example document (without `biblatex`) to get us started...
