This patch converts all English language strings used within
depressionbot's localisation interface (that is, strings.json) to their
ISO-639-1 equivalents.
The purpose of this patch is to make the strings.json file less
English-dependent.
All languages with an ISO-639-1 code have been converted; that is,
English, Spanish and Welsh, to ``en``, ``es`` and ``cy`` respectively.
This patch does not attempt to force a solution to the issue of Na'vi:
the language does not have a large enough corpus to warrant its own ISO
639-3 code, and as such there is no perfect solution. For the time
being, this patch keeps the Na'vi language as its English language
string ("Na'vi"). A possible solution to this discrepancy includes using
the ISO 639-3 code ``art``, used for artificial languages that do not
qualify for an official code, or by using local use codes specified
in ISO 639-3 (qaa to qtz).
This patch requires collaboration with upstream repositories that also
use strings.json, such as the Github and Stats modules.
# Depressionbot IRC Bot ## Introduction Depressionbot is an IRC bot which aims to be the fanciest IRC bot around - On the general standard of software fanciness, dbot is statistically rated as being '82% the same as bathing in fine, fine grape juice.' Please note that this documentation is not complete and is a work in progress, given I started it rather a long time after I began development of the project. Please don't judge me too harshly for this as I am, in fact, mildly allergic to writing documentation. Requirements: - Node JS - [JSBot](http://github.com/reality/JSBot "JSBot"), a Javascript library which handles the IRC protocol - Underscore JS library - Various modules have their own requirements also. ### External Modules JSBot and externally developed modules can be imported by running the following commands in the cloned repository: git submodule init git submodule update
