Replacing "IRC" with "Chat" or "ChatBrainz" #485
Conversation
As mentioned by mayhem at the summit, updated IRC references to ChatBrainz references and changed the relevant links. Also added a social media section, as they are in the footer and why not. Blog doesn't 100% fit the header, but I think this is the best place for it.
I think Chat is a big enough MeB channel to be in the footer for 'Contact Us', especially compared to Insta etc.
Now that we have team members spread across a few chat channels (Mainly Matrix and IRC) I have changed references to "IRC" to the hopefully-future proof "Chat"
Replaced "IRC" with "chat"/"ChatBrainz" as appropriate.

Hey, thanks for tackling this. I'll pay attention to it once the back-to-aback summits have stopped their toll on me. |

No rush, take it easy! |

These URLs should probably be removed since they're no longer used. And the ChatBrainz one should probably be used in a similar way as these were rather than just pasting it as-is inside the string.

Maybe use a proper apostrophe and then you don't need to escape it ;) Although I'm not sure why the "Nobody's perfect" bit is there anyway? 😅

We use sentence case for other headers.

Ideally these should also be done with variables such as blog_url, mastodon_url, etc - that way if the URL changes later (say, because some idiot buys Bluesky and renames it Y) it won't change the actual string translators will see.
Alternatively (and possibly even better?) you could just take the URL bit out of the translatable bit and leave just the title, since that seems to be what we already do in the footer?

Did you do the messages.pot changes by hand? I assume the .pot file is automatically generated by some script and we should run that instead.
As mentioned by mayhem at the summit, updated "IRC" references to "Chat" or "ChatBrainz" references and changed the relevant links.
Will need testing, sorry, but hopefully this is most of the work done.
