+ <title>IRC Account Details</title>
+
+ <p>IRC accounts require different information than many other types of
+ accounts. To create an IRC account, you must specify at least an IRC
+ network and a nickname. This page details the information you can
+ provide for an IRC account.</p>
+
+ <note style="info package">
+ <p>You must have the <sys>telepathy-idle</sys> package installed
+ in order to use IRC in <app>Empathy</app>.</p>
+ </note>

+ <item>
+ <title><gui>Network</gui></title>
+ <p>IRC is an open system that allows people to run separate IRC
+ networks. Each network is distinct and has its own users and
+ chat rooms. <app>Empathy</app> lists the most popular networks
+ in the <gui>Network</gui> drop-down list. You can add additional
+ networks. See <link xref="#networks"/> below.</p>
+ </item>
+ <item>
+ <title><gui>Nickname</gui></title>
+ <p>Your nickname is your unique name on the IRC network. Only one
+ person on a network may use a given nickname. If you get an error
+ message that says <link xref="prob-conn-name" role="error-msg"/>
+ you will need to change your nickname.</p>
+ </item>
+ <item>
+ <title><gui>Password</gui></title>
+ <p>Some servers, particularly those on private networks, require
+ a password to connect. If you are authorized to use the network,
+ the network administrators should provide you with a password.</p>
+ <note>
+ <title>NickServ Passwords</title>
+ <p>On some networks, nicknames can be registered using a service
+ known as NickServ. <app>Empathy</app> does not directly support
+ nickname passwords. On some networks, including the popular
+ FreeNode network, server passwords are automatically forwarded
+ to NickServ, allowing you to set this field to identify yourself
+ with NickServ. See <link xref="irc-nick-password"/> for more
+ details.</p>
+ </note>
+ </item>
+ <item>
+ <title><gui>Real name</gui></title>
+ <p>You can provide your real name in addition to your nickname. Other
+ users will be able to see this when they view your information.</p>
+ </item>
+ <item>
+ <title><gui>Quit message</gui></title>
+ <p>When you go offline, a quit message is sent to all the chat rooms
+ you’re in and to all the users you’re having a private conversation
+ with. Use this field to provide a custom quit message.</p>

+ <p><app>Empathy</app> includes a list of popular IRC networks. If you
+ wish to another IRC network, you can add it to the list. You can also
+ modify networks and remove them from the list.</p>

+
+ <p>When adding or modifying a network, you can enter the following

+
+ <terms>
+ <item>
+ <title><gui>Network</gui></title>
+ <p>This is the name of the network as you want it to appear in
+ the list of networks.</p>
+ </item>
+ <item>
+ <title><gui>Charset</gui></title>
+ <p>This specifies the character encoding that is typically used on
+ this network. A character encoding is a specific way of recording
+ characters internally in a computer. There are many character
+ encodings, and you need to use the same character encoding as other
+ users to see their messages correctly.</p>
+ <!--
+ Translators: Recommend character encodings that are common
+ for your language.
+ -->
+ <p>By default, <app>Empathy</app> uses UTF-8, a modern character
+ encoding that can handle text from most of the world's languages.
+ Another common encoding for English and some other Western languages
+ is ISO-8859-1.</p>
+ </item>
+ <item>
+ <title><gui>Servers</gui></title>
+ <p>An IRC network may have many servers you can connect to. When
+ you are connected to a server on a particular network, you can
+ communicate with all users on all other servers on that network.
+ You can add and remove servers for this network using the
+ <gui>Add</gui> and <gui>Remove</gui> buttons.</p>
+ <p>When a server is selected, click the field under <gui>Server</gui>
+ or <gui>Port</gui> to edit it. Alternatively, use the left and right
+ arrow keys to focus the field, and press the space bar to begin
+ editing.</p>
+ <p>Select the check box in the <gui>SSL</gui> column to encrypt
+ all communication with a server. Note that this does not prevent
+ other users on the network from seeing what you write on public
+ chat rooms.</p>

+ <title>Jabber Account Details</title>
+
+ <p>Most Jabber accounts will require only a login ID and a password
+ to connect. For some accounts or on certain types of networks, you
+ may need to enter additional information in the <gui>Advanced</gui>
+ section. Normally, you will not need to use the advanced options

+ <title><gui>Encryption required (TLS/SSL)</gui></title>
+ <title><gui>Ignore SSL certificate errors</gui></title>
+ <p>Whenever possible, communication between <app>Empathy</app> and
+ the Jabber server is encrypted. If encrypted communication is not
+ possible, messages may be sent unencrypted. Select <gui>Encryption
+ required</gui> to prevent <app>Empathy</app> from communicating with
+ the Jabber server when encryption is not possible.</p>
+ <p>Some Jabber servers may encrypt data using invalid certificates,
+ or using certificates from unknown authorities. If you trust the
+ server you are connecting to, you can select <gui>Ignore SSL
+ certificate errors</gui> to allow encrypted communication with
+ invalid certificates.</p>
+ </item>

+ <title><gui>Resource</gui></title>
+ <title><gui>Priority</gui></title>
+ <p>If you have multiple applications (for instance, on separate computers)
+ connected to your account at the same time, you can set a resource to
+ uniquely identify each one. By default, <app>Empathy</app> will use
+ <input>Telepathy</input> as the resource.</p>
+ <p>You can set the priority to specify which application should receive
+ incoming messages from your contacts. New messages will be sent to the
+ application with the highest priority.</p>
+ </item>
+ <item>
+ <title><gui>Override server settings</gui></title>
+ <p><app>Empathy</app> will use default settings to connect to the
+ Jabber server based on your login ID. For some Jabber servers, you
+ will need to enter custom server settings manually. These settings
+ should be provided for you by your Jabber provider.</p>
