+#<locale>.lang.yaml       - general info about the translation
+#<locale>-irc.lang.json   - IRC strings to be translated
+#<locale>-help.lang.json  - help entries to be translated

+#name - this is the 'nice' or 'full' name of the language
 name: "العربية"
+#code - this is what the language will be referred to in our list of languages
 code: "ar"
+#incomplete - whether to mark this language as incomplete
 incomplete: true
