_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:

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:

	-- 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.isSupportedLanguage(lang) then
