Bot is named meeting. It supports many useful features, read the Supybook to learn them.
Join the bot
To join the bot to your IRC channel, email your request.
Logging
The bot supports keeping logs for further browsing on meeting.sugarlasb.org. This feature is disabled by default, to enable it, email your request.
Handling meetings
The bot has MeetBot plugin to handle meeting on channels it joined to. Read MeetBot tutorial to learn how to handle meetings.
Meeting logs are stored on meeting.sugarlasb.org (even if logging is disabled). Go to channel page and click Meetings link (rightmost switch in toolbar).
Multi-lingual relaying
The bot supports language translation relaying. It is plugin implementation of transbot.
It is about implicit translation for particular IRC channel into several languages. People being in satellite channels, like #sugar-ru, can type posts in Russian, all theses posts will be translated into English and posted to #sugar. The same works in opposite direction.
The easiest way to use it is web client. On login screen, choose one of sugar channels and the language you want to type posts in. Language might be Default that means that you need to type in default language for IRC channel from the list. After being logged in, you can all time open new Sugar channel using combo boxes on the leftmost side of upper toolbar.
IRC command interface
Translation process might be managed from IRC commands sent to meeting nick.
List channels that can be translated (primal channels) with current translation status:
/msg meeting lingvo list
List supported languages:
/msg meeting lingvo langs
Open new translation channel:
/msg meeting lingvo join [primal-channel] lang
By default, empty translation channels will be closed in 3 days. To prevent it:
/msg meeting lingvo pin [translation-channel] /msg meeting lingvo unpin [translation-channel]
Keep special phrases untranslated
To not process translate where it doesn't make sense, warp the text into double quotes. To pass entirely post untranslated, start it from the double quotes (there is no need in ending the post by double quote).
In several cases text also won't be translated. For example channel names (words started from # symbol) or nick names.
