skill-pairing's Issues

Phonetic alphabet is geared for English, make localizable

The alphabet used leans towards the English language and Mimic TTS engine. All the alphabet to be easily localized for other languages using the new MycroftSkill.translate_list() method.

Provide information to user on why pairing is required

Following up from Mycroft-core issue #2665

It would be good to provide information about the need for pairing and what it provides. So if a user queries why it's required, then Mycroft can converse (to a small degree) on the topic.

Improve design of Pairing UI screens

Currently we have two pages for pairing:

1. Directions to go to home.mycroft.ai
2. Pairing code

Describe the solution you'd like
Could combine the two screens
or
Add the url to the pairing code page so users don't need to swipe back if they missed it.

UUID not needed anymore

This skill pip installs the uuid package/library, but is already included within Python >2.5

Skill always report ready after pairing

If I correctly understand the code, after the pairing process the skill should check if Mycroft is fully ready and if;

Not ready: Should speak "wait.for.startup.dialog"
Ready: Should speak "pairing.paired.dialog"

However the skill ALWAYS speaks the "pairing.paired.dialog" despite mycroft still downloading and installing skills in the background. Probably related to;
MycroftAI/mycroft-core#2642

Need to take out virtual env req

Getting error in docker when trying to install pairing skill so I can't pair my container instances now.

Installing libraries requirements
/usr/local/bin/python: No module named virtualenvwrapper
virtualenvwrapper.sh: There was a problem running the initialization hooks.

If Python could not import the module virtualenvwrapper.hook_loader,
check that virtualenvwrapper has been installed for
VIRTUALENVWRAPPER_PYTHON=/usr/local/bin/python and that PATH is
set properly.
ERROR: Environment 'mycroft' does not exist. Create it with 'mkvirtualenv mycroft'.
Unable to activate mycroft virtualenv!
Sorry I'm unable to complete the request! Check the error messages above for why. Err 120
