Contributing Guide

Getting Started

  1. Fork the repository on GitHub.
  2. Clone your fork and install dependencies:
git clone https://github.com/<your-username>/UTMJBC-Bot.git
cd UTMJBC-Bot
npm install

  1. Copy config/config.json.example (if available) or create config/config.json manually — see the Self Hosting guide in the README for all required fields.

  2. Open a branch for your change:

git checkout -b feature/my-change
  1. Make your changes, test locally with npm start, then open a pull request against main.

Adding a language

The bot ships with localised strings for every user-facing message.
All locale files live in language/. Each file is a JSON object with string keys and translatable string values.

To add a new language:

  1. Copy language/english.json to language/<langname>.json.
  2. Translate every value (not the keys).
  3. Keep %VAR% placeholders exactly as-is — they are replaced at runtime with dynamic values.
  4. Open a GitHub issue or pull request with the [LANGUAGE] title format, or use the New Language Template.
