Irc13n is an IRC bot that enables translation
to 13 languages, hence the name.

Installation :
==============

You'll need a perl interpreter
and the curl and libcurl toolkit :
http://curl.haxx.se/.
Then, untar the archive in a folder, that's it.

Lauching :
==========

Fix the IRC server configuration in "params.pl",
then either launch with :

./irc13n.pl

in which case it will translate from the
input language to the output language
defined in "params.pl",

either launch it with :

./irc13n.pl en ar

in this case, it will translate from English to Arabic.

Supported languages are those
supported by www.freelanguagetranslation.net,
so, as of the 08/09/2003 :

Arabic		"ar" 
German		"de"
English		"en" 
Spanish		"es" 
French		"fr"
Italian		"it" 
Japanese 	"ja"
Korean		"ko" 
Polish		"pl"
Portuguese 	"pt"
Russian		"ru" 
Ukrainian 	"uk"
Chinese		"zh"

Note : to see non-ascii characters in your IRC,
you should use an IRC client like xchat or chatzilla
and enable internationalization with the command :
/charset utf-8


Once the irc13n is connected to an IRC channel,
you can activate the translation of a speaker
with the command :

translate en2ar <nickname>

and stop the translation with :

stop en2ar <nickname>

enjoy!!
