 The list contains :term:`language codes<language code>` for languages that are
 written right-to-left.
 
 Generally, the default value should suffice. Only set this setting if you want
 to restrict language selection to a subset of the Django-provided languages.
+If you define a custom :setting:`LANGUAGES` setting, the list of bidirectional
+languages may contain language codes which are not enabled on a given site.
