Module:Engvar
From The Goon Show Depository
Module documentation-- This module implements Template:Engvar.
-- Template:Engvar is to be build into the template (like an infobox), with default & variant spellings defined.
-- That template should also allow parameter '|engvar=' for the editor (article page).
-- The module/template Engvar then returns the spelling variant as is set in that article (for example '|engvar=en-GB').
-- The defaultWord is returned, unless the engvar input hits on a defined (en-XX) variant word.
