_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
		if args.nocat == '1' then
			return '<strong class="error">LangSwitch Error: no default</strong>' 
		else
			return '<strong class="error">LangSwitch Error: no default</strong>[[Category:LangSwitch template without default version]]' 
		end
	end
	-- get language (either stated one or user's default language)
	if not lang then
		return '<strong class="error">LangSwitch Error: no lang</strong>' -- must become proper error
	end
	-- get the list of accepetable language (lang + those in lang's fallback chain) and check their content
	local langList = mw.language.getFallbacksFor(lang)
	table.insert(langList,1,lang)
	table.insert(langList, 'default')

			return ''
		elseif args[language] and args[language] ~= '' then

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:

]]

--[[
autotranslate
 
This function is the core part of the Autotranslate template. 
 
Usage from a template:
{{#invoke:fallback|autotranslate|base=|lang= }}
 
Parameters:
  frame.args.base - base page name
  frame.args.lang - desired language (often user's native language)

 Error Handling:

--[[
translatelua
 
Allows easy translation or internalization of pages in Lua. 
 
Example Usage from a template:
{{#invoke: fallback|translatelua| i18n/oil on canvas|lang={{{lang|}}}}}
 
Parameters:
  frame.args.1 - name of translation module
	frame.args.2 - field name of the structure in Module:[frame.args.1] to use
  frame.args.lang - desired language (often user's native language)

 Error Handling:

]]
