Arguments

A vector of dimension numbers or dimension names which should be translated

MAgPIE object in which the dimensions should be searched for.

missing

Either a value to which a dimension should be set in case that it is not found (default is 0), or "stop" indicating that the function should throw an error in these cases.

if set to TRUE also properly set dimension names which refer to non-existing subdimensions will be treated as missing, otherwise these dimension codes will be returned, even if the subdimension does not exist
