Modul:Infobox multi-lingual name

Implements {{Infobox Chinese}} and some related templates.


--[[
TODO:
		all non-English text wrapped in {{lang}}?
		distingush various scripts?  Kanji is ja-Hani ...
		every child infobox should support translit / transcription parameter(s)
		every child infobox should have a literal meaning parameter
		revise parameter names to be IETF language code or obvious derivations thereof
		for error messaging create a separate ibox? else messages are not necessarily visible
