Contains functions linked to Module:TNT, which at the same time make calls to multilingual tables, located in Commons, for the creation of modules and multilingual templates. The Module:SimpleArgs, designed to create multilingual modules, uses these tables for error messages.

TNTTools has:

Question functions: with boolean or numerical indexed return. To be called from other modules or from templates. With:
- Case sensitive option.
- Possibility of more than one translated text value (where each value is separated by "|").
To put aside write, adding "I18n/" as a prefix and ".tab" extension as a suffix for the table names.

For example, with a parameter that has two or more meanings (or in English and localized language):

local p = {}
local SA = require "Module:SimpleArgs"
local TNTT = require "Module:TNTTools"
local function I18nStrTab (S)
  return TNTT.TabTransMT ('TableName',S)
  --in this case 'P_Action' from 'II18n/TableName.tab' contains 'action' and 'function' like this 'action|function'
end
function p.main (frame)
  args = SA.GetArgs (frame)
  local action = SA.SArgs.GetStrFromArgs (args, I18nStrTab('P_Action'))
  --title will take the value from the parameter |action= or |function=
  ...
end
return p

Module:ArgsTNT, designed to create multilingual templates, allows get parameter values (passed from the frame) with several keys for the same parameter.
