This module allows templates and modules to be easily translated as part of the [[mw:Multilingual Templates and Modules|multilingual templates and modules project]]. Instead of storing English text in a module or a template, TNT module allows modules to be designed language-neutral, and store multilingual text in the [[mw:Help:Tabular_Data|tabular data pages]] on Commons. This way your module or template will use those translated strings (messages), or if the message has not yet been translated, will fallback to English. When someone updates the translation table, your page will automatically update (might take some time, or you can purge it), but no change in the template or module is needed on any of the wikis. This process is very similar to MediaWiki's [[mw:localisation|localisation]], and supports all standard localization conventions such as <nowiki>{{PLURAL|...}}</nowiki> and [[mw:Localisation#Message_parameters|other parameters]].

=== Using TNTTools ===
[[Module: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.
* Several examples.
