Editing Module talk:Arguments (section)

== Implement i18n ==

Should this module implement [[Internationalization and localization|i18n]]? Eg. by allowing a second parameter (boolean), which will make it try to load a name-map from a sub-module. Eg. Bananas could use
 args = getArgs(frame, true)['firstname']
and Bananas/i18n_de could contain
 return { vorname = 'firstname' }
(I admit a mapping in the opposit direction is more intuitive, but this allows multiple parameternames to be mapped to the same lua-parameter.)

: The danger with this idea is that it makes it more difficult to use the module in different languages, unless everyone uses the canonical name anyway. For example, "Spezial:Beobachtungsliste" works if you go to [[:de:Spezial:Beobachtungsliste|dewiki]] but doesn't [[Spezial:Beobachtungsliste|here]] or most other-language wikis, while "Special:Watchlist" will work everywhere.

:Well, our user-editors in non-english languages should have access to templates in their native language. But at the same time it would be a great advantage to share the logic in the Lua-modules. Which implies that a translation is needed; it could be in the template <code><nowiki>{{#Person:name|firstname={{{vorname|}}}|...}}</nowiki></code> or be hidden in i18n within the modules configuration. (Maybe it was a mistake to open this on the site, where translation isn't needed.) [[User:Poul G|Poul G]] ([[User talk:Poul G|talk]]) 12:45, 3 November 2014 (UTC)
Is it possible this module to handle named parameters with Unicode names like: <pre>{{my_template | unnamed_1 | параметър = 123 | named_2 = ... etc.}}</pre>--[[User:Pl71|Pl71]] ([[User talk:Pl71|talk]]) 15:32, 24 February 2016 (UTC)
