Words (messages)

Words

You can write messages or words.

You can write messages in YAML or JSON format. I recommend YAML.

• write comment
• merge feature
• less typing

Schema

All you can include in the file is these property names:

• version (required)
  • Version number for this message config file.
  • Currently, “1” is the only valid value.
  • Reserved for future use.
• general
• datetime
  • To be spoken at the specific date-time
  • write in cron-style format
• touch
  • spoken whe the mouse cursor touches that part of body.
  • Head and Body are supported.
• IANA language tag
  • internationalization (i18n)
  • the string the browsers return in navigator.language or navigator.languages API
  • default is used when no other language tags match the user’s preference
