# Translator 3 © 1999, 2000 Per Johansson (dw@eggheads.org)
#
# For eggdrop1.3/1.4/1.5
# (might work in 1.1.5 also but I dont really care that bot version suck
#  and only clueless morons use them still)
#
# v1.0 (19/12-98) -- first release
# v1.1 (21/12-98) -- added some user settings
#                    added bindings for msg and dcc
#                    made it friendly with multichanbots
# v1.2 (20/9-99)  -- fixed security bug..wonder how many tcls that has it.
#--
# v2.0 (01/12-99) -- Totally recoded it should work with older tcl versions
#                    take less resourses, be more simple to get working
#                    and be more secure.
#                    It's now async(non blocking) and requests are stacked.
# v2.1 (03/12-99) -- Added check/fix for possible infinite loop
#                    Better error handling (host is unreachable etc.)
#                    Some code optimisation
# v2.2 (06/12-99) -- Improved the url-x-encoder so it wont puke on some
#                    chars.
#--
# v3.0 (10/01-00) -- Happy new year, and welcome to the year 2000!
#                    Another lang db, so you have a choise which to use
#                    the new one supports more languages.
#                    Some new settings on how it should behave to querys
#                    and sock# aint used as ID anymore since I reuse them
#                    to damn fast :P
#                    It now uses language codes in the commandline,
#                    type !translate langs get the codes.
#
# Installation:  gunzip translator3.0.tcl.gz
#                mv translator3.0.tcl ~/botdir/scripts/
#                echo source scripts/translator3.0.tcl >> ~/botdir/<bot>.conf
#                .rehash
#
# Upgrading: Same as above but first remove the old source line for
#            translator in the conf file.
#
# Usage: pub: !translate <fromlang> <tolang> <text>
#        msg: /msg <botnick> translate <fromlang> <tolang> <text>
#        dcc: .translate <fromlang> <tolang> <text>
#        To get help use the same commands but without any args.
#        To get language codes : /msg bot tr.. langs or !tr.. langs
#        or .tra.. langs

# Note: I code all my stuff from scratch, I rip no other persons code
#       If you seen some part of this somewhere else it has been copyed
#       from me. Per "dw" Johansson and to hell with then and whoo DCU!
#######
# PS: This script uses either altavista or tranexp so if they
#     change anything it might stop working.
#     When you use altavista one of the language must be english
#     ie you must always translate to or from english.
#     tranexp can translate between anylang.
#     IMHO altavista does better translations then tranexp
#     but tranexp has alot more languages to use.
#     If someone knows of a better translator database on the net
#     please let me know.
