What I mean is that the whole string
... {{inner1|...|???}} ... {{inner2|...|???}} ... {{inner17|...|???}} ... {{inner18|...|???}} ...
is passed as the first argument of
{{outer| ... |language}}
instead of being hard coded in the template {{outer| ... |language}} since the first argument is not known in advance.
Thanks,

Is there a way, or some hack, for an outer template to modify some inner
templates' parameters in nested template calls? For example:
{{outer| ... {{inner1|...|???}} ... {{inner2|...|???}} ...
{{inner17|...|???}} ... {{inner18|...|???}} ... |language}}
so that
- if language = english, then ??? is replaced with en (before the inner
templates are called)
- if language = spanish, then ??? is replaced with sp (before the inner
templates are called)
This way, we only have to change the language parameter of the outer
template, and all the inner templates are called with the appropriate parameter. (Instead of manually modifying the numerous inner templates.)
I know that inner templates are called before outer ones. (This would
mean that the inner templates would execute with the ??? parameter, returning something that would allow the outer template to modify the ???, then the outer template would call back the inner templates with the modified parameter, before the outer template finally does it's own thing with the result. I don't know whether or not this could be hacked.)
Maybe I’m misunderstanding but you can pass template parameters as arguments to nested templates. As in,
/Page {{aha|output=hello}}
/Tempate:aha {{echo|{{{output}}}}}
/Template:echo {{{1}}}
The content of page will be “hello”. I used a named parameter so that the example is clearer; that isn’t necessary.
Hope it helps.
Thanks
