_langSwitch
This function is the core part of the LangSwitch template.
Example usage from Lua:
text = _langSwitch({en='text in english', pl='tekst po polsku'}, lang)
Parameters:
args - table with translations by language
lang - desired language (often user's native language)
Error Handling:
]]
function p._langSwitch(args, lang) -- args: table of translations
-- Return error if there is not default and no english version
if not args.en and not args.default then
local err = '<b class="error">LangSwitch Error: no default</b>'
if args.nocat == '1' then
return err
else
return err .. '[[Category:LangSwitch template without default version]]'
end
end
-- To improve performance try quick switch, and load fallback chain only if needed.
-- In the vast majority of cases fast switch is sufficient
local val = args[lang]
if val == '~' then
return ''
elseif val and val ~= '' then
return val
elseif args.quick then

end
-- get the list of accepetable language (lang + those in lang's fallback chain) and check their content

langSwitch
This function is the core part of the LangSwitch template.
Example Usage from a template:
{{#invoke:fallback|langSwitch|en=text in english|pl=tekst po polsku|lang={{int:lang}} }}
Parameters:
frame.args - table with translations by language
frame.args.lang - desired language (often user's native language)
Error Handling:
]]

local args = frame.args
-- if no expected args provided than check parent template/module args
if args.en==nil and args.default==nil and args.nocat==nil then
args = mw.getCurrentFrame():getParent().args
end
local lang = args.lang
if not lang or not mw.language.isKnownLanguageTag(lang) then
lang = frame:callParserFunction( "int", "lang" ) -- get user's chosen language
end
-- Try quick switch which checks the most likely option when fallback is not needed
args.quick = true;
local val = p._langSwitch(args, lang)

return val
end
-- Allow input in format: {{LangSwitch|de=Grün|es/it/pt=Verde|fr=Vert|en=Green |lang=en}}
-- with multiple languages mapping to a single value
