Much of the code used "en-us" as the default value when not specified.
This limited the internationalization potential. Changing the default
to None and adds the ability to define the default lang code from other
locations in code. E.g.
```python
from mycroft.util.lang import set_default_lang
set_default_lang("en-us")
print("English date: "+nice_date(dt))
set_default_lang("de-de")
print("German date: "+nice_date(dt))
```
This allows easier localization of Skills by having the framework set the default without any changes necessary by the Skill writers.
Other minor changes:
* Changed the default return value of get_gender*() to None instead of False
This commit add the initial translations of core functions for format
numbers: nice_number_es, pronounce_number_es and nice_time_es.
==== Localization Notes ====
NONE - Castillian (Spain's spanish)
* New formatters: nice_duration() and join_list()
Adding two new formatting functions:
* nice_duration(duration, lang="en-us", speech=True)
Accept seconds or duration and produce a nice sounding duration.
Example: nice_duration(61) == "one minute one second"
nice_duration(61, speech=False) == "1:01"
* join_list(items, connector, sep=None, lang="en-us")
Example: join_list(["a", "b", "c"], "and") == "a, b and c"
This includes a translation helper that uses text files in the
mycroft/res/text/LANG/ directory, such as "second.word".
The test for today/tomorrow/yesterday was only looking at the day,
not the month and year. So on July 14, 2018 it would claim that
the date June 14 2018 and July 14 2020 are all "today".
Now the full date is used in the comparison
* Add MycroftSkill.find_resource() that locates a localization resource file
from either under the old vocab/regex/dialog folder, or under any folder in
the new 'locale' folder. The locale folder unifies the three different
folders and allows arbitrary subfolders underneath it.
* MycroftSkill.speak_dialog() will now speak the entry name if no dialog file
is found. Periods are replaced with spaces, so
```self.speak_dialog("this.is.a.test.")``` would return "this is a test" if
no file named this.is.a.test.dialog is found.
* Remove MycroftSkills.vocab_dir value
* Minor edits to several docstrings
Add support for:
* mycroft.util.format.nice_time()
* mycroft.util.format.prounce_number()
* implemented unittests for above
Also renamed the helper method convert_number() to
_convert_to_mixed_fraction()
Move the language specific functions and constants into separate files.
This will avoid many unnecessary conflicts due to involuntary encoding
changes.
This commit officially switches the mycroft-core repository from
GPLv3.0 licensing to Apache 2.0. All dependencies on GPL'ed code
have been removed and we have contacted all previous contributors
with still-existing code in the repository to agree to this change.
Going forward, all contributors will sign a Contributor License
Agreement (CLA) by visiting https://mycroft.ai/cla, then they will
be included in the Mycroft Project's overall Contributor list,
found at: https://github.com/MycroftAI/contributors. This cleanly
protects the project, the contributor and all who use the technology
to build upon.
Futher discussion can be found at this blog post:

This commit also removes all __author__="" from the code. These
lines are painful to maintain and the etiquette surrounding their
maintainence is unclear. Do you remove a name from the list if the
last line of code the wrote gets replaced? Etc. Now all
contributors are publicly acknowledged in the aforementioned repo,
and actual authorship is maintained by Github in a much more
effective and elegant way!
Finally, a few references to "Mycroft AI" were changed to the correct
legal entity name "Mycroft AI Inc."
==== Fixed Issues ====
#403 Update License.md and file headers to Apache 2.0
#400 Update LICENSE.md
==== Documentation Notes ====
Deprecated the ScheduledSkill and ScheduledCRUDSkill classes.
These capabilities have been superceded by the more flexible MycroftSkill
class methods schedule_event(), schedule_repeating_event(), update_event(),
and cancel_event().
