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, 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
