Not globally exposed. Internal function only.

language_subpages( frame, transform, options )
Parameters
    frame:     The frame that was passed to the method invoked. The first argument or the page argument will be respected.
    transform: A transform function. Example: function( basepagename, subpagename, code, langname ) end
    options:   An object with options. Example: { abort= { on=function() end, time=0.8 }  }
        Following options are available:
        abort: Aborts iterating over the subpages if one of the conditions is met. If the process is aborted, nil is returned!
            on: Function to be called if an abort-condition was met.
            cycles: The maximum number of subpages to run over.
            time: Maximum time to spend running over the subpages.

   Page.subpages() no longer works because it attempted to parse the HTML content generated by
   calling the parser function "Special:Prefixindex:" which is no longer expanded in Lua but
   converted to a "stripped tag" (containing a unique identifier surrounded by ASCII DEL characters)
   representing the tag name and its parameters.
   The actual expansion of stripped tags can no longer be performed in Lua.
   Now unstripping these tags just kills ALL these tags (except "wiki" tags) instead of performing
   their expansion by running the extension code. Only MediaWiki can unstrip these tags in texts after
   they have been returned by Lua.
   For this reason, page.subpages() is now completely empty (Module:Page no longer works).
   This cannot be bypassed, except by using a Scribunto extension library if lifting the limits set by mw.unstrip.
   Note that "Special:Prefixindex:" is also costly, even if it just requires a single database query to
   get all subpages, instead of one costly #ifexist or one costly mw.title() property reading per
   tested subpage to know if it exists.
   For now there's still no reliable way to get a list of subpages, or performing queries similar to
   the [[Special:Prefixindex]] page or list members of a category like when viewing a category page.
   Ideally, there should exist a method for such queries on Title objects returned by the mw.title library;
   but for now there's none.
   In Lua now, the only expansion possible with an immediate effect is the expansion of standard templates,
   all special tags or special pages, or parser function extensions do not work (Only the #expr parser
   function is supported by using an external Scribunto library).

forEachLanguage

This function iterates over all language codes known to MediaWiki based on a maintained list
replacing patterns in a pattern-string for each language

Usage
{{#invoke:Languages|forEachLanguage
  |pattern=patternstring
  |before=string to insert before iteration
  |after=string added after iteration
  |sep=separator string between iterations
  |inLang=langcode used for $lnTrP and $lnTrUC1
}}

Parameters
    pattern: A pattern string which is processed for each language and which is concatenated at the end and returned as one string
    before: A string that is inserted before the concatenated result
    after: A string that is inserted after the concatenated result
    sep: A string that is inserted between each line created from the pattern while iterating (like ProcessedPattern_sep_ProcessedPattern_sep_ProcessedPattern)
    inLang: Langcode to use for $lnTrP and $lnTrUC1
    preprocess: if set to a non-empty value, the output will be preprocessed before being returned.

Warning
    The output is still not prepreprocessed by default: so parser functions and magic keywords generated by the pattern are still not executed and replaced,
    and template transclusions are still not expanded (see examples in other functions in this module).
    When using this function directly from a MediaWiki page or template, this means it is only possible to use patterns generating basic MediaWiki formatting
    or HTML tags. It you want the output to be preprocessed (in the given frame), set the preprocess parameter to a non-empty string.
    
Patterns
    $lc - language code such as en or de
    $lnP - language name in own language (autonym)
    $lnUC1 - language name in own language (autonym), first letter upper case
    $lnTrP - language name translated to the language requested by language code passed to inLang
    $lnTrUC1 - language name translated to the language requested by language code passed to inLang, first letter upper case

Example
    {{#invoke:Languages|forEachLanguage|pattern=<span lang="$lc" xml:lang="$lc" class="language lang-$lc">[[Page/$lc|$lnP]]</span>}}
