Language support

[Exorcism0666]

Describe the solution you'd like

Why not add in the parameters a command which would allow to change the language of Ninigi, for example: in French, Spanish, Chinese etc ...

Describe alternatives you've considered

seeing that I am French I could help you if you want hehe (if you want to add this option of course)

DoD (added here and maintained by Glaze so it shows up in Issues list):

• [ ] Put all English responses in a json file.
• [ ] Readjust code everywhere to accomodate for language setup.
• [ ] Move all commands
• [x] Move all events
• [x] Move all affairs
• [x] Move all other guild-specific text
• [x] Read from json file correctly.
• [x] Load all language strings on boot so that they don't have to be loaded every time a command is used.
• [x] Get correct language set in message event, pass through to command to avoid code repetition.
• [x] Add language per server to database.
• [x] Make command to swap between different language files, preferably adaptively based on the file name. (example: ?language jp reads jp.json)
• [x] Variables: let string = string.replace('[0]', variable);?
• [x] Default to English if no language is set
• [x] Default to English string if string is missing from that specific language.
• [x] Find a good way for people to contribute. Look into https://poeditor.com/projects/view?id=444591 & https://crowdin.com/
• [ ] Make Pokémon command get different language API responses.
• [ ] Translate Shinx commands.
• [ ] If message is ephemeral use user's locale, otherwise use guild's language, replacing ?language command.

Would be quite a big task since I would need to make language files for every supported language but not impossible for sure. I don't know if I could easily translate all the command names like ?togglechannel to all languages without messing up the code but just the responses Ninigi seems back should be possible.

I only speak Dutch, which is a translation noone needs, so for other languages I would need others to translate instead yeah lmao

Slash commands will get new localization options soon, at which point most of this can likely be redone aside from the actual translations. Cool.

This entire issue will likely have to restart development due to slash command support and the slash command language support beta. One day. Maybe. https://discord.com/developers/docs/interactions/application-commands#localization

Closing this for now as I would have to restart development anyways. Might get back to this and will just make a new, clean issue for it.
