--[[ This module is created as a proposal to partially replace the existing Template:Translated

Note on zh-*:
Certain language conversion tools for conversion between zh-hant and zh-hans appear to be quite reliable. However:
* I am not sure whether the use of such tools makes sense for this particular wiki.
* I am not sure which particular tool should be used. Currently I only know OpenCC (used for the l10n branch of advtrains) and the conversion tool used for zh.wikipedia.org
  * OpenCC does not provide a Lua API, and I don't think Scribunto allows loading C/C++ wrapper libraries. Therefore, it would involve a re-implementation.
  * I do not know whether the tool used on zh.wikipedia.org can be used on this wiki or has a Lua API.
Further discussions can take place on the talk page.
