## VoIP / Jitsi calls
@ -261,77 +261,77 @@ More information about the Jitsi setup can be found [here](./jitsi.md).
The VoIP and Jitsi options are:

"preferred_domain": "meet.jit.si"
}
}
```
```json
{
"jitsi": {
"preferred_domain": "meet.jit.si"
}
}
```
2. `jitsi_widget`: Optional configuration for the built-in Jitsi widget. Currently can only contain a single `skip_built_in_welcome_screen`
value, denoting whether the "Join Conference" button should be shown. When `true` (default `false`), Jitsi calls will skip to
the call instead of having a screen with a single button on it. This is most useful if the Jitsi instance being used already
has a landing page for users to test audio and video before joining the call, otherwise users will automatically join the call.
For example:
```json
{
"jitsi_widget": {
"skip_built_in_welcome_screen": true
}
}
```
```json
{
"jitsi_widget": {
"skip_built_in_welcome_screen": true

send MSC3086-style asserted identity messages during VoIP calls in the room corresponding to the asserted identity. This *must*
send MSC3086-style asserted identity messages during VoIP calls in the room corresponding to the asserted identity. This _must_

}
}
```
```json
{
"voip": {
"obey_asserted_identity": false
}
}
```
4. `widget_build_url`: Optional URL to have Element make a request to when a user presses the voice/video call buttons in the app,
if a call would normally be started by the action. The URL will be called with a `roomId` query parameter to identify the room
being called in. The URL must respond with a JSON object similar to the following:
```json
{
"widget_id": "$arbitrary_string",
"widget": {
"creatorUserId": "@user:example.org",
"id": "$the_same_widget_id",
"type": "m.custom",

}
},
"layout": {

"index": 0,
"width": 65,

as defined by the `io.element.widgets.layout` state event.

They are _NOT_ co be confused with 'skins', which describe apps which sit on top
of matrix-react-sdk - e.g. in theory Element itself is a react-sdk skin.
As of March 2022, skins are not fully supported; Element is the only available skin.
To define a theme for Element:
1. Pick a name, e.g. `teal`. at time of writing we have `light` and `dark`.
2. Fork `src/skins/vector/css/themes/dark.pcss` to be `teal.pcss`

which don't differ from `_base.pcss`, to make it clear which are being
overridden. If every single colour is being changed (as per `_dark.pcss`)
then you might as well keep them all.

1. Decide how to name it. Please think about if the person who has to translate it can understand what it does. E.g. using the name 'recipient' is bad, because a translator does not know if it is the name of a person, an email address, a user ID, etc. Rather use e.g. recipientEmailAddress.

- You can use the special ``count`` variable to choose between multiple versions of the same string, in order to get the correct pluralization. E.g. ``_t('You have %(count)s new messages', { count: 2 })`` would show 'You have 2 new messages', while ``_t('You have %(count)s new messages', { count: 1 })`` would show 'You have one new message' (assuming a singular version of the string has been added to the translation file. See above). Passing in ``count`` is much prefered over having an if-statement choose the correct string to use, because some languages have much more complicated plural rules than english (e.g. they might need a completely different form if there are three things rather than two).
- If you want to translate text that includes e.g. hyperlinks or other HTML you have to also use tag substitution, e.g. ``_t('<a>Click here!</a>', {}, { 'a': (sub) => <a>{sub}</a> })``. If you don't do the tag substitution you will end up showing literally '<a>' rather than making a hyperlink.
- You can also use React components with normal variable substitution if you want to insert HTML markup, e.g. ``_t('Your email address is %(emailAddress)s', { emailAddress: <i>{userEmailAddress}</i> })``.
- You can use the special `count` variable to choose between multiple versions of the same string, in order to get the correct pluralization.

## Things to know/Style Guides
- Do not use `_t()` inside ``getDefaultProps``: the translations aren't loaded when `getDefaultProps` is called, leading to missing translations. Use `_td()` to indicate that `_t()` will be called on the string later.
- If using translated strings as constants, translated strings can't be in constants loaded at class-load time since the translations won't be loaded. Mark the strings using `_td()` instead and perform the actual translation later.
- If a string is presented in the UI with punctuation like a full stop, include this in the translation strings, since punctuation varies between languages too.
- Avoid "translation in parts", i.e. concatenating translated strings or using translated strings in variable substitutions. Context is important for translations, and translating partial strings this way is simply not always possible.
- Concatenating strings often also introduces an implicit assumption about word order (e.g. that the subject of the sentence comes first), which is incorrect for many languages.
- Translation 'smell test': If you have a string that does not begin with a capital letter (is not the start of a sentence) or it ends with e.g. ':' or a preposition (e.g. 'to') you should recheck that you are not trying to translate a partial sentence.
- If you have multiple strings, that are almost identical, except some part (e.g. a word or two) it is still better to translate the full sentence multiple times. It may seem like inefficient repetion, but unlike programming where you try to minimize repetition, translation is much faster if you have many, full, clear, sentences to work with, rather than fewer, but incomplete sentence fragments.
- Do not use `_t()` inside `getDefaultProps`: the translations aren't loaded when `getDefaultProps` is called, leading to missing translations. Use `_td()` to indicate that `_t()` will be called on the string later.
