#  translate - Xchat Translation Script by shock
#  Site: http://www.exitwound.org
#  Email: shock@exitwound.org
#
# INSTALL:  You MUST install the Lingua::Translate module 
# before using this script.  See http://search.cpan.org to
# locate it.  
#
# The $DEFAULT variable should be set to your 2- or 3- 
# character language code (i.e., en for English, es for
# Espanol, etc.).  See below for how to locate other 
# character codes.
#
# Place translate.pl into your /home/<username>/.xchat/ 
# directory and restart xchat.  
#
#           OR
#
# Place translate.pl into your /home/<username>/.xchat/
# directory and type 
# "/load home/<username>/.xchat/translate.pl" into the
# xchat window.
#
# You will see "translate 0.01 by shock has been 
# loaded" if the script loads properly. 
#
# commands: Help screen            = /translate
#           XX to Default Language = /pr XX::message
#           Default Language to XX = /tr XX::message
#
# Where XX is an acceptible language code as specified at
# http://search.cpan.org/doc/JHI/perl-5.8.0-RC1/lib/I18N/LangTags/List
+.pm 
#
# If XX is not specified, the system defaults to Espanol.
#
# examples:
#    Assume you want to send a message in Spanish:
#
#    /tr es::this is a test message
#
#    Assume you have received a message in German:
#
#    /pr de::dieses ist eine Testanzeige
#
# The /tr commands will post the message to the chatroom.
# The /pr commands will only echo the translation to you.
# No one in the chatroom will see it.
#
#
# note 1: The Lingua::Translate module uses Babelfish
#   (http://babelfish.altavista.com) for it's translations.
#   So, although this module will allow you to communicate
#   in other languages, you're not going to to be the most
#   proficient of speakers.  This module does NOT provide
#   (nor does it intend to) an ideal solution.  It does,
#   however, allow you to somewhat break the language
#   barrier.
#
# note 2: Because the script has to contact Babelfish, 
#    when you hit the enter key, you will notice a delay.
#    Sometimes it's a short delay, sometimes it's a long
#    delay.  It all depends upon Internet traffic.  
#    That's just the way it is, baby.
#
# ack: Thanks to BrainRawt (http://rawt.daemon.sh) for
#    writing Xchat scripts.  I've used his scripts as a
#    go-by for this one.
