Locales helpers
This helpers are used for bot's localization.
First you should import a factory:
import createLocalesFactory from 'nbp-locales';
Then you should create whole bot's vocabulary in different languages (vocabulary.js
):
export default {
en: {
// This is a Cluster name
greetings: {
// This is a Skill name
// you can make it deeper if you want to
greet: (userName) => [
`Hi ${userName}.`,
`${userName}. It's been a while.`,
`Hello.`
],
justGreeted: [
`We just greeted.`,
`Ok. Hi. Again.`
],
sarcaticGreet: (userName) => [
`I'll order vitamins for memory. ;) Hi.`,
`I can swear that we greeted several times already.`,
`Are we playing a game or something?`,
`${userName}, sometimes I have same problems. Just can't remember what I did before. We greeted several times already. I swear.`,
`I have an idea! Let's stop greeting each other? :P`
]
},
afairs: {
afairs: (userName) => [
`Fine ${userName}, thanks!`,
`I'm fine, thanks!`,
`It's ok.`
],
justAskedAfairs: (userName) => [
`Could be better`,
`It was OK before you asked. Several times.`,
`I've talked to hundreds people today, how do you think?`
]
}
}
};
Pass vocabulary to the locales factory (here where I create it):
const localesFactory = createLocalesFactory(vocabulary)
Then in some Core skill you need to retrieve a language, that your user speaks now and pass it to the bot's context (check this as an example):
bot.locales = localesFactory('en');
Afterwards inside other skill just use those locales (usage example):
// CLUSTER_NAME = 'greetings';
// SKILL_NAME = 'greet';
bot.locales(`${CLUSTER_NAME}.${SKILL_NAME}`, first_name);
