# Description
This significantly improves the quality of the language system by fixing
the mistakes I've made almost a year ago while developing it.
Mainly, this throws away the old half-broken way of networking in favor
of the component state system provided by RT. Language speaker comp is
now shared with SendOnlyToOwner = true, and its state is handled
manually.
In addition to that, this brings the following changes:
- UniversalLanguageSpeaker and LanguageKnowledge are now server-side
- DetermineLanguagesEvent and LanguagesUpdateEvent are now shared (so
that future systems can be built in shared, if needed)
- Everything now uses the ProtoId<LanguagePrototype> type instead of raw
strings (god, I hated those so much)
- The server-side language system now accepts Entity<T?> arguments
instead of EntityUid + T
- UniversalLanguageSpeaker is now based on DetermineEntityLanguagesEvent
and gets an Enabled field, which allows to turn it off. This may have
some use in the future.
- Some minor cleanup

# Description
UniversalLanguageSpeakerComponent has NUMEROUS issues, which previously
were easy to ignore since it was a language only obtainable by Admins.
But now that it's both a Psionic Power(And a trait that adds said
power), the issues with it have been highlighted. Here's just a FEW
1. UniversalLanguageSpeaker overwrites all known languages, preventing
you from speaking anything else
2. It overwrites the ability to use sign language.
3. It also overwrites the Mute trait.
To fix that, I've made it follow *MOSTLY* the logic all the other
languages use, so that it's less of a special snowflake case. Now if you
have access to it, it will appear in your language list alongside other
languages, rather than fully replacing the entire list. That way you can
intentionally choose not to speak in a language understood by all.
Fuck it, I also added the ability for the TraitSystem to just call
LanguageSystem and directly add arbitrarily any desired language, rather
than needing a component to do so.
# Changelog
🆑
- fix: UniversalLanguageSpeaker(And Xenoglossy by extension) will now
appear in your language menu alongside other known languages, rather
than replace all known languages. You can effectively now choose whether
or not to speak it, or to use a normal language.
- add: Traits can now add Languages directly.
- add: Traits can now remove Languages directly.

# Description
The language PR was merged early and OH GOD I ALREADY REGRET IT
This PR is intended to provide the missing refactors and address the
issues that were missed due to the early merge.
---
# TODO
- [X] Introduced a polymorphic obfuscation property to the
LanguagePrototype - now it supports more than just 2 hardcoded methods,
and each method can be configured per-language. Currently there are 3
obfuscation methods: replacement (same as replacement accent),
obuscation by syllables and obfuscation by phrases.
- [X] Refactored the existing obfuscation methods to not be a big
hardcoded mess.
- [X] Updated the existing languages accordingly: animalistic languages
are now less of an unreadable mess and include less syllables. Certain
languages like binary and snake seriously benefit from that.
- [X] Refactored the existing commands in response to the
never-addressed review (it got lost among hundreds of others)
- [X] Refactored the commands to be more user-friendly (you can now use
the number of the language in saylang and languageselect which can allow
using keybinds to switch between languages)
- [X] Moved a lot of obfuscation-related stuff from server to shared.
The actual obfuscation process, however, is still done on the server.
That may or may not be subject to change, too.
- [X] Refactored the entire process of resolution of entities'
languages. Instead of raising an event every time it's required to learn
what languages an entity knows, the lists of ALL languages available to
the entity (including via translators) is stored in
LanguageSpeakerComponent and only updated when necessary (e.g. when a
translator gets toggled). The list of languages the entity knows on its
own is now stored in LanguageKnowledgeComponent.
- [X] Made handheld translators automatically change your current
language when activated.
- [X] Rewrote the translator implanter system, now using the real
implants and implanters
- [ ] Rebalance science stuff (translators are incredibly expensive for
what they're worth)
- [ ] Uhhh stuff
