[IRCServices] IRCServices languages

[Andrew Church]

     Think of the commands as "code words" or a "programming language",
much like the C language uses "for" no matter what country you're in; then
it should be easy to see the difference between "input" and "output" as you
refer to them.  This applies even to English--the HOP command doesn't tell
ChanServ to start jumping up and down, for example.

>Just thought up this idea while talking to someone. I dont know if its really *that* stupid (i know its probably VERY hard to do) but it made sense to me at the time... see what you think:

>[22:09] <Brain`> hmm
>[22:09] <Brain`> i wonder what the point is of having langauges in services.
>[22:09] <Brain`> changing the languages alters the spoken language of the output
>[22:09] <Brain`> but it doesnt change the commands
>[22:10] <Brain`> if you set it to french, you still have to /msg nickserv register blah blah
>[22:10] <Brain`> and not /msg nickserve registre le blah la blah ooh la la
>[22:10] <Brain`> :P
>[22:10] <Brain`> get how i mean?
>[22:10] <Brain`> register isnt "register" in french, spanish, german... ;)
>[22:10] <Brain`> still not much help to a non-english speaker :D
>
>what im saying is.... that it would be a good idea if services could change its *input* language as well as its *output* language, so that non-english speakers may use it easier. I know this isnt neccessarily a good idea, or an easy one and would take lot
>s of translation but i believe its possible. Just an idea...
