Features
========
Off-the-record encryption
=========================
Converse.js supports `Off-the-record (OTR) <https://otr.cypherpunks.ca/>`_
encrypted messaging.
The OTR protocol not only **encrypts your messages**, it provides ways to
**verify the identity** of the person you are talking to,
**plausible deniability** and **perfect forward secrecy** by generating
new encryption keys for each conversation.
In its current state, Javascript cryptography is fraught with dangers and
challenges that make it impossible to reach the same standard of security that
is available with native "desktop" software.
This is due to its runtime malleability, the way it is "installed" (e.g.
served) and the browser's lack of cryptographic primitives needed to implement
secure crypto.
For harsh but fairly valid criticism of Javascript cryptography, read:
`Javascript Cryptography Considered Harmful <http://www.matasano.com/articles/javascript-cryptography/>`_.
To get an idea on how this applies to OTR support in Converse.js, please read
`my thoughts on it <https://opkode.com/media/blog/2013/11/11/conversejs-otr-support>`_.
For now, suffice to say that although its useful to have OTR support in
Converse.js in order to avoid most eavesdroppers, if you need serious
communications privacy, then you're much better off using native software.

Minification
============
Minifying Javascript and CSS
----------------------------
Please make sure to read the section `Development`_ and that you have installed
all development dependencies (long story short, you can run ``npm install``
and then ``grunt fetch``).
We use `require.js`_ to keep track of *Converse.js* and its dependencies and to
to bundle them together in a single minified file fit for deployment to a
production site.
To minify the Javascript and CSS, run the following command:
::
grunt minify
Javascript will be bundled and minified with `require.js`_'s optimization tool,
using `almond <https://github.com/jrburke/almond>`_.
You can `read more about require.js's optimizer here`_.
CSS is minified via `cssmin <https://github.com/gruntjs/grunt-contrib-cssmin>`_.
Translations
============
.. Note ::
Translations take up a lot of space and will bloat your minified file.
At the time of writing, all the translations add about 50KB of extra data to
the minified javascript file. Therefore, make sure to only
include those languages that you intend to support and remove from
./locale/locales.js those which you don't need. Remember to rebuild the
minified file afterwards.
The gettext POT file located in ./locale/converse.pot is the template
containing all translations and from which for each language an individual PO
file is generated.
The POT file contains all translateable strings extracted from converse.js.
To make a user facing string translateable, wrap it in the double underscore helper
function like so:
::
__('This string will be translated at runtime');
After adding the string, you'll need to regenerate the POT file, like so:
::
make pot
You can then create or update the PO file for a specific language by doing the following:
::
msgmerge ./locale/de/LC_MESSAGES/converse.po ./locale/converse.pot -U
To do this for ALL languages, run:
::
make merge
The resulting PO file is then what gets translated.
If you've created a new PO file, please make sure to add the following
attributes at the top of the file (under *Content-Transfer-Encoding*). They are
required as configuration settings for Jed, the Javascript translations library
that we're using.
::
"domain: converse\n"
"lang: de\n"
"plural_forms: nplurals=2; plural=(n != 1);\n"
Unfortunately `Jed <http://slexaxton.github.io/Jed>`_ cannot use the PO files directly. We have to generate from it
a file in JSON format and then put that in a .js file for the specific
language.
To generate JSON from a PO file, you'll need po2json for node.js. Run the
following command to install it (npm being the node.js package manager):
::
npm install po2json
You can then convert the translations into JSON format:
::
po2json locale/de/LC_MESSAGES/converse.po locale/de/LC_MESSAGES/converse.json
Now from converse.json paste the data as a value for the "locale_data" key in the
object in the language's .js file.
So, if you are for example translating into German (language code 'de'), you'll
create or update the file ./locale/LC_MESSAGES/de.js with the following code:
::
(function (root, factory) {
define("de", ['jed'], function () {
return factory(new Jed({
"domain": "converse",
"locale_data": {
// Paste the JSON data from converse.json here
}
})
}
}(this, function (i18n) {
return i18n;
}));
making sure to also paste the JSON data as value to the "locale_data" key.
.. Note ::
If you are adding translations for a new language that is not already supported,
you'll have to make one more edit in ./locale/locales.js to make sure the
language is loaded by require.js.
Congratulations, you've now succesfully added your translations. Sorry for all
those hoops you had to jump through.

<p>In its current state, Javascript cryptography is fraught with dangers and
challenges that make it impossible to reach the same standard of security that
is available with native &#8220;desktop&#8221; software.</p>
<p>This is due to its runtime malleability, the way it is &#8220;installed&#8221; (e.g.
served) and the browser&#8217;s lack of cryptographic primitives needed to implement
secure crypto.</p>
<p>For harsh but fairly valid criticism of Javascript cryptography, read:

<p>To get an idea on how this applies to OTR support in Converse.js, please read
<a class="reference external" href="https://opkode.com/media/blog/2013/11/11/conversejs-otr-support">my thoughts on it</a>.</p>
<p>For now, suffice to say that although its useful to have OTR support in
Converse.js in order to avoid most eavesdroppers, if you need serious
communications privacy, then you&#8217;re much better off using native software.</p>

<div class="admonition note">
<p class="first admonition-title">Note</p>
<p class="last">Translations take up a lot of space and will bloat your minified file.
At the time of writing, all the translations add about 50KB of extra data to
the minified javascript file. Therefore, make sure to only
include those languages that you intend to support and remove from
./locale/locales.js those which you don&#8217;t need. Remember to rebuild the
minified file afterwards.</p>
</div>
<p>The gettext POT file located in ./locale/converse.pot is the template
containing all translations and from which for each language an individual PO
file is generated.</p>
<p>The POT file contains all translateable strings extracted from converse.js.</p>
<p>To make a user facing string translateable, wrap it in the double underscore helper
function like so:</p>
<div class="highlight-python"><div class="highlight"><pre><span class="n">__</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="s">&#39;This string will be translated at runtime&#39;</span><span class="p">);</span>
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>After adding the string, you&#8217;ll need to regenerate the POT file, like so:</p>
<div class="highlight-python"><pre>make pot</pre>
</div>
<p>You can then create or update the PO file for a specific language by doing the following:</p>
<div class="highlight-python"><pre>msgmerge ./locale/de/LC_MESSAGES/converse.po ./locale/converse.pot -U</pre>
</div>
<p>To do this for ALL languages, run:</p>
<div class="highlight-python"><pre>make merge</pre>
</div>
<p>The resulting PO file is then what gets translated.</p>
<p>If you&#8217;ve created a new PO file, please make sure to add the following
attributes at the top of the file (under <em>Content-Transfer-Encoding</em>). They are
required as configuration settings for Jed, the Javascript translations library
that we&#8217;re using.</p>
<div class="highlight-python"><div class="highlight"><pre><span class="s">&quot;domain: converse</span><span class="se">\n</span><span class="s">&quot;</span>
<span class="s">&quot;lang: de</span><span class="se">\n</span><span class="s">&quot;</span>
<span class="s">&quot;plural_forms: nplurals=2; plural=(n != 1);</span><span class="se">\n</span><span class="s">&quot;</span>
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>Unfortunately <a class="reference external" href="http://slexaxton.github.io/Jed">Jed</a> cannot use the PO files directly. We have to generate from it
a file in JSON format and then put that in a .js file for the specific
language.</p>
<p>To generate JSON from a PO file, you&#8217;ll need po2json for node.js. Run the
following command to install it (npm being the node.js package manager):</p>
<div class="highlight-python"><pre>npm install po2json</pre>
</div>
<p>You can then convert the translations into JSON format:</p>
<div class="highlight-python"><pre>po2json locale/de/LC_MESSAGES/converse.po locale/de/LC_MESSAGES/converse.json</pre>
</div>
<p>Now from converse.json paste the data as a value for the &#8220;locale_data&#8221; key in the
object in the language&#8217;s .js file.</p>
<p>So, if you are for example translating into German (language code &#8216;de&#8217;), you&#8217;ll
create or update the file ./locale/LC_MESSAGES/de.js with the following code:</p>
<div class="highlight-python"><pre>(function (root, factory) {
define("de", ['jed'], function () {
return factory(new Jed({
"domain": "converse",
"locale_data": {
// Paste the JSON data from converse.json here
}
})
}
}(this, function (i18n) {
return i18n;
}));</pre>
</div>
<p>making sure to also paste the JSON data as value to the &#8220;locale_data&#8221; key.</p>
<div class="admonition note">
<p class="first admonition-title">Note</p>
<p class="last">If you are adding translations for a new language that is not already supported,
you&#8217;ll have to make one more edit in ./locale/locales.js to make sure the
language is loaded by require.js.</p>
</div>
<p>Congratulations, you&#8217;ve now succesfully added your translations. Sorry for all
those hoops you had to jump through.</p>

<p>After adding the string, you&#8217;ll need to regenerate the POT file, like so:</p>
<div class="highlight-python"><pre>make pot</pre>
</div>
<p>You can then create or update the PO file for a specific language by doing the following:</p>
<div class="highlight-python"><pre>msgmerge ./locale/de/LC_MESSAGES/converse.po ./locale/converse.pot -U</pre>
</div>
<p>To do this for ALL languages, run:</p>
<div class="highlight-python"><pre>make merge</pre>
</div>
<p>The resulting PO file is then what gets translated.</p>
<p>If you&#8217;ve created a new PO file, please make sure to add the following

Features
========
Off-the-record encryption
=========================
Converse.js supports `Off-the-record (OTR) <https://otr.cypherpunks.ca/>`_
encrypted messaging.
The OTR protocol not only **encrypts your messages**, it provides ways to
**verify the identity** of the person you are talking to,
**plausible deniability** and **perfect forward secrecy** by generating
new encryption keys for each conversation.
In its current state, Javascript cryptography is fraught with dangers and
challenges that make it impossible to reach the same standard of security that
is available with native "desktop" software.
This is due to its runtime malleability, the way it is "installed" (e.g.
served) and the browser's lack of cryptographic primitives needed to implement
secure crypto.
For harsh but fairly valid criticism of Javascript cryptography, read:
`Javascript Cryptography Considered Harmful <http://www.matasano.com/articles/javascript-cryptography/>`_.
To get an idea on how this applies to OTR support in Converse.js, please read
`my thoughts on it <https://opkode.com/media/blog/2013/11/11/conversejs-otr-support>`_.
For now, suffice to say that although its useful to have OTR support in
Converse.js in order to avoid most eavesdroppers, if you need serious
communications privacy, then you're much better off using native software.

Translations take up a lot of space and will bloat your minified file.
At the time of writing, all the translations add about 50KB of extra data to
the minified javascript file. Therefore, make sure to only
include those languages that you intend to support and remove from
./locale/locales.js those which you don't need. Remember to rebuild the

After adding the string, you'll need to regenerate the POT file, like so:
::

You can then create or update the PO file for a specific language by doing the following:
::
msgmerge ./locale/de/LC_MESSAGES/converse.po ./locale/converse.pot -U
To do this for ALL languages, run:
::

The resulting PO file is then what gets translated.
If you've created a new PO file, please make sure to add the following
attributes at the top of the file (under *Content-Transfer-Encoding*). They are
required as configuration settings for Jed, the Javascript translations library
that we're using.
::

Unfortunately `Jed <http://slexaxton.github.io/Jed>`_ cannot use the PO files directly. We have to generate from it

Now from converse.json paste the data as a value for the "locale_data" key in the
object in the language's .js file.
So, if you are for example translating into German (language code 'de'), you'll
create or update the file ./locale/LC_MESSAGES/de.js with the following code:
::
(function (root, factory) {

making sure to also paste the JSON data as value to the "locale_data" key.

If you are adding translations for a new language that is not already supported,
you'll have to make one more edit in ./locale/locales.js to make sure the
