I have a simple question: I would like to write a multilingual bot script to localise Magic words like:
{{DEFAULTSORT: => {{AAKKOSTUS: {{CLEDETRI: {{DEFAŬLTORDIGO: {{ORDENA: {{SORTIERUNG: {{SORTUJ: etc.
What algorithm could I use to translate a Magic word in the local language of a Wikipedia?
You can use Site.getmagicwords() to get magic words for translation:
>>> import pywikibot
>>> site = pywikibot.Site('de')
>>> words = site.getmagicwords('defaultsort')
['SORTIERUNG:', 'DEFAULTSORT:', 'DEFAULTSORTKEY:', 'DEFAULTCATEGORYSORT:']An example can be found in cosmetic_changes.CosmeticChangesToolkit.translateMagicWords() which replaces magic words inside File links.
