Module:Sandbox/110521sgl explained

--This page should be deleted, but I assume wikimarkup and templates don't work,so I can't do .--

--Based on the Babel module and the Babel and Babel-N templates.This module is meant to do the same thing as the Babel module,without forcing "User" in front of every argument, while stillallowing for nice table formatting (which Babel-N doesn't!)This is my first time using Lua, but it shouldn't be too hard, right?I think I'll call it "UserlessBabel" or something.--
