begiak is the IRC bot in the #apertium IRC channel. It serves some several purposes, including to showcase some applications of the apertium translation API and to facilitate communication when users are offline..

Background

Begiak was set up by conor_f for GCI 2012, and several modules were written and fixed by sushain, Qasim, and a number of other GCI students since then. The core code base is the mutantmonkey port to Python3 of the phenny bot. Our codebase is currently hosted at [1].

Begiak means "the eyes" in Basque.

Features

Begiak recognises the following commands.

Apertium features

These are special apertium-related or #apertium-specific commands, or were designed with apertium in mind.

  • .awik — Search for something on Apertium wiki or point a user to a Apertium wiki page.
  • .awikstats – "awikstats update LANG" should update the wikipage apertium-LANG/stats
  • .follow nick lg1-lg2 (follower) — Follow someone and translate as they speak. (Translations are sent as notices to the follower (admin only!))
  • .following — List people currently being followed.
  • .gitserver [status|start|stop] — get the githook-server's status/start it/stop it. See Begiak's git plugin for more info.
  • .iso639 lg — look up ISO 639-1, -2 and -3 language codes either by code or by language name. Codes sourced from Ethnologue.com (639-3) and Wikipedia (-1 and -2)
  • .isodb update — update the local database of ISO 639 codes (admin only!)
  • .isodb status — see if the database updater (.isodb update) is running
  • .issue — create a new GitHub issue.
  • .listpairs (lg) — List language pairs available for apertium translation

  • .(ml|mailinglist) poll — Poll for new messages in apertium mailing lists (this is automatically done every five minutes).
  • .(ml|mailinglist) last list — Get the last message in a specified list.

  • .unfollow nick — Stop following a user.
  • .wikicount lg — Get the number of articles an official or incubated Wikipedia for the specified language has, given a Wikipedia code or partial language name. (currently seems to be broken)

General features

These are more general-use commands; while many are useful to us in #apertium, they weren't designed specifically for #apertium (though some were hacked to make them more appropriate for #apertium).

      • Urban Dictionary (.urb)
      • Wikitionary (.w)

??

These functions/plugins either don't seem to work or need some figuring out:

  • .tfw
  • rule34 disabled
  • lastfm
  • mylife (.fml .mlia)
  • oblique

Wishlist

You can see the old wishlist here

  • mediawiki plugins
    • have better logic for text that's displayed for a page/section (need examples where it fails!)
      • where the first thing is [[…|En français]] (though really, we should have a real template on the wiki for translations)
      • where there's immediately a subsection? (cf. Talk:Begiak)
    • generalise mediawiki plugin?
  • Pollers (svn, git, etc.)
    • show short links to new apertium-stuff posts (poll like with commits?) ☭
      • alternatively: begiak lacks a filter or two, sometimes fills up channels making S/N high. begiak should detect quiet channels and not output there.
    • svnpoller and gitpoller's lookup functions (i.e., repeat information on specific revision)
  • timezones
    • better mapping of city names to timezones

Help!

Begiak is controlled by an init script (/etc/init.d/begiak.sh) on bytemark, and can be started, stopped, and restarted by anyone with sudo access.
