--[[ autotranslate

This function is the core part of the Autotranslate template.

Usage from a template:

Parameters:

 frame.args.base - base page name
 frame.args.lang - desired language (often user's native language)

Error Handling:

]] function p.autotranslate(frame)

-- switch to lowercase parameters to make them case independent local args = {} args = normalize_input_args(frame:getParent().args, args) args = normalize_input_args(frame.args, args)

-- find base page local base = args.base args.base = nil assert(base and #base>0, 'Base page not provided for autotranslate' ) if not mw.ustring.find(base,':') then -- if base page does not indicate namespace base = 'Template:' .. base -- than assume it is a template end

-- Transclude Template:Page with template arguments the same as the ones passed to template. return frame:expandTemplate{ title = page, args = args} end
