Core settings for the bot, dashboard, and security.
Five core settings that apply to the whole bot rather than one feature. You set them once at the start and rarely return, but they affect every message the bot writes.
Five settings alone, but they apply to the whole bot rather than one feature: the prefix, the clock system, the bot language, the calendar, and the numerals. You set them once at the start and rarely return, yet every message the bot writes afterwards passes through them.
The prefix is the symbol preceding a command name, one to five characters with no spaces. Pick one no other bot in your server uses, or two bots answer the same command. It concerns prefix commands only, since slash commands work with no prefix at all.
The clock system is 12-hour or 24-hour, applied to every time the bot writes in its messages, logs, and stats. Set it at the start, because changing it after the logs fill up makes reading old and new times confusing.
The bot language is the language it writes its replies in. It applies only to what you have not customized yourself; messages you wrote in any feature stay exactly as you wrote them, in their own language.
The calendar is Gregorian or Hijri, and it applies to every date variable across every feature at once: welcome, logs, scheduled messages, adkar, and the stats panel. Month names are written in the bot language in both calendars, so Hijri reads properly in Arabic and in English alike. Discord itself has no Hijri calendar, so the bot writes the date in Hijri while the clock stays on each member own timezone, and a member reads one line carrying the Hijri date and their own time.
The numerals are Arabic 1234 or Arabic-Indic ١٢٣٤, applied to every number the bot writes: balances, levels, counters, and the dates themselves. Mentions, channels, emoji, and links always keep their own digits, so nothing Discord relies on is affected.
