Homebrew: Language

v1.1.0

Building a Language

Basic skeleton

To start, copy the following code block and fill the empty "" values.

Language code block

"language":[
    {
        "name": "",
        "source": "",
        "page": 0,
        "entries": [
            ""
        ]
    }
]

• "name" — name of the language
• "source" — make sure it is the same as the "json" key in the _meta.
• "page" — page of the document the hazard appears at (leave at 0 if not applicable).
• "entries" — consists of text strings ("") separated by commas.

More options

Make sure you are adding these blocks in the same level as the "name", "source", etc.

Type

Choose between "standard", "exotic" or "secret". Other types will render correctly, but will not appear as filter options.

"type": "standard"

Script

"script": "Draconic"

Typical Speakers

 "typicalSpeakers": [
    "Southern Human Villages",
    "Swamp Elves"
]

Dialects

Having different dialects does not change how a language is presented on the website, but lets you search that language by its dialect name.

"dialects": [
    "Githyanki",
    "Githzerai"
]

Adding an image

"fluff": {
    "images": [
        {
            "type": "image",
            "href": {
                "type": "external",
                "url": "www.example.com/image.jpg"
            }
        }
    ]
}

Fonts

To link a font already present on the website, you need to know its internal structure. If you cannot figure it out, you best ask at the discord server at #brew conversion, as well as the procedure to add your own fonts.

"fonts": [
    "fonts/languages/PHB/Infernal/Infernal.ttf"
]

Reference Tag

How to link to entries within the "entries":

{@language <name_of_Language>|<json_source>|<optional_display_text>}

Example:

{@language Dambrathan|SCAG}

{@language Dambrathan|SCAG|and optional link text added with another pipe}
