_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 .. '[[ವರ್ಗ: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
		return nil
	end
	
	-- get the list of accepetable language (lang + those in lang's fallback chain) and check their content
	assert(lang, 'LangSwitch Error: no lang')
	local langList = mw.language.getFallbacksFor(lang)
	table.insert(langList,1,lang)
	table.insert(langList,math.max(#langList,2),'default')
	for _, language in ipairs(langList) do 
		val = args[language]
		if val == '~' then 
			return ''
		elseif val and val ~= '' then 
			return val 
		end
	end

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)
	if val then
		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
	local args1 = {}
	for name, value in pairs( args ) do 
		if value ~= '' and type(name)=='string' then
