## About The Pull Request
There was a PR I wanted to make, but one of the features I wanted the
addition to have was for an affected mob to only speak aphasic, but
understand whatever languages they'd normally be able to understand.
This, in turn, required refactoring language holders to separately block
language speech and comprehension. This change, I decided, would be good
to split into its own PR.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Allows more fine-grained control over what languages an atom is blocked
from speaking or understanding. This will be useful for future PRs or
admin events.
## Changelog
no player-facing changes
Fixes#89445 (well, technically. It fixes the bug associated but these
`say`s should really be emotes.)
Three things:
1. Reworks how language translation works.
Rather than scrambling a sentence into a language entirely, sentences
are now scrambled on a per-word basis.
Additionally, the 1000 most common words of a language are *never*
re-scrambled across the duration of a round. Once it's set it's set in
stone.
Example: (Sample / Old / New)
This allows for a number of things:
- More consistent translations, making it (more) viable to actually
"teach" someone words for something
- Maintaining emphasis such as caps (but not `||`, `++`, or `__` - at
least not yet)
- The following:
2. Adds partial language understanding
Some languages can understand portions of other languages.
This pr adds the following:
- Those who understand Beachtongue can understand 50% of Common and 33%
of Uncommon words.
- Those who understand Common can understand 33% of Beachtongue and 20%
of Uncommon words.
- Those who understand Uncommon can understand 20% of Common and 20% of
Beachtongue words.
3. Bilingual quirk has been expanded to accomodate these changes.
There are now two more preferences:
- Language Speakable
- You can toggle this, so you only understand the language, rather than
understand AND speak.
- Language Skill
- If you choose to be unable to speak the language, you can set how much
of the language you can understand, down to 10%.
Playing around languages is fun, but due to the way our translation
works, ALL context is immediately lost for what the other person may be
saying.
If the other person is shouting in all caps? Output language is normal
chatting. This is lame!
Even if someone is unable to understand you, there's a LOT you can
convey just by how you speak, and getting that across in game is quite
difficult when all translations get mauled so badly.
So this changes that.
- Emphasis like caps lock is maintained, so you see someone shouting in
caps in a foreign language you can probably intuit something is wrong
(but not what is wrong!)
- Some languages can gleam bits of other languages, so you MIGHT be able
to pick out context if you pay close attention
- "Brother" languages will now feel more like "brothers" and not
completely divergent
- You can even "teach" someone words in your language - at least the
most common words! (Until next round)

add: Languages can now have partial understanding of other languages.
More common English words are more likely to be mutually understood.
add: Those who understand Beachtongue can understand 50% of Common and
33% of Uncommon words.
add: Those who understand Common can understand 33% of Beachtongue and
20% of Uncommon words.
add: Those who understand Uncommon can understand 20% of Common and 20%
of Beachtongue words.
add: Bilingual quirk: You can now choose between being able to speak or
not speak the language
add: Bilingual quirk: You can now choose to have partial understanding
of your language, rather than full.
qol: If you speak in ALL CAPS in a foreign language, the translated
words will also be ALL CAPS.
qol: Many more forms of punctuation are now conveyed across
translations.
qol: The 1000 most common English words will now never be scrambled when
translating into other languages for the duration of the round. This
means you can actually "learn" some words if you are especially
attentive! (Until the next round at least)
refactor: Refactored language translations. Report if you see any super
odd looking translations.
fix: Force-says forcing you to speak common (such as cult invocations)
will now correctly force you to speak common (even if you don't know
common)

## About The Pull Request
Continuation of #89340
Player view
Admin view
Added features:
- Languages you can speak mentally, but not physically, now have a
special indicator (they show up as yellow / grey).
- Admins no longer get two sections of languages. It's now one big
section.
- Languages are now sorted alphabeticaly.
- Languages you can speak are pushed to the top, above languages you can
understand.
## Why It's Good For The Game
It's a bit ugly and it doesn't have to

## About The Pull Request
Currently to check for Silicon access, we do:
``if is silicon or is admin ghost or has unlimited silicon privileges or
has machine remote in hand``
What has unlimited silicon privileges? Bots, Drones, and admin ghosts.
To check for AI access, it just checks for AI instead of silicon, and
doesnt check for unlimited silicon privileges.
This was kinda silly, so I thought I should make this a little easier to
understand.
Now all silicon/ai traits come from ``AI_ACCESS_TRAIT`` or
``SILICON_ACCESS_TRAIT``. I made a single exception to keep Admin ghost,
since now instead of being a var on the client, we moved it to using the
same trait but giving it to the client instead, but since we have to
keep parity with previous functionality (admins can spawn in and not
have this on, it only works while as a ghost), I kept previous checks as
well.
No more type checks, removes a silly var on the mob level and another on
the client.
Now while I was doing this, I found a lot of tgui's ``ui_act`` still
uses ``usr`` and the wrong args, so I fixed those wherever I saw them,
and used a mass replace for the args.
Other changes:
- machinery's ``ui_act`` from
https://github.com/tgstation/tgstation/pull/81250 had ``isAI`` replaced
with ``HAS_AI_ACCESS``, this has been reverted. Machine wands and admin
ghosts no longer get kicked off things not on cameras. This was my
fault, I overlooked this when adding Human AI.
- Human AI's wand gives AI control as long as it's in your hand, you can
swap to your offhand. I hope this doesn't end up going horribly,
otherwise I'll revert this part. It should let human AIs not have their
UI closed on them when swapping to eat food or use their door wand or
whatnot.
- Bots previously had special checks to scan reagents and be
unobservant, I replaced this with giving them the trait. I also fixed an
instance of unobservant not being used, so now statues don't affect the
basic creature, whatever that is.
## Why It's Good For The Game
This is an easier to understand way of handling silicon access and makes
these mobs more consistent between eachother.
Other than what I've mentioned above, this should have no impact on
gameplay itself.

## About The Pull Request
This PR moves random name generation for species onto their languages.
What does this mean?
- For species with a predefined name list, such as Lizards and Moths,
nothing.
- For species without predefined name lists, such as Felinids, their
names will now be randomly generated from their language's syllables.
(In the prefs menu:)
Why?
- Well, we actually had some dead code that did this. All I did was fix
it up and re-enable it.
- Generates some pretty believable in-universe names for various
languages that are lacking name lists. Obviously defined lists would be
preferred, but until they are added, at least.
- Moves some stuff off of species, which is always nice.
- Also hopefully makes it a tad easier to work with name generation.
There's now a standard framework for getting a random name for a mob,
and for getting a random name based on a species.
Misc:
- Adds a generic `species_prototype` global, uses it in a lot of places
in prefs code.
- Makes `GLOB.species_list` init via the global defines
- Deletes Language SS
- Alphabetizes some instances of admin tooling using the list of all
species IDs
- Docs language stuff
- Deletes random_skin_tone, it does pretty much nothin
## Changelog
🆑 Melbert
refactor: Random Name Generation has been refactored. Report any
instances of people having weird (or "Unknown") names.
qol: Felinids, Slimepeople, Podpeople, and some other species without
defined namelists now automatically generate names based on their
primary language(s).
qol: More non-human names can be generated in codewords (and other misc.
areas) than just lizard names.
