The algorithm used here is generic, so it's in the core parser; but the list of "magic pronouns" is language-specific, and therefore imported from the language plugin. For instance, here's the list of English magic pronouns imported from ubiquity/modules/parser/locale_en.js: | |||
EnParser.PRONOUNS = ["this", "that", "it", "selection", "him", "her", "them"]; | |||
If any of those words appear in the input, the PartiallyParsedSentence will attempt to substitute | |||

Because the substitution happens '''before''' the substring is passed to a noun_type for argument suggestion, it's possible to -- for instance -- select "ja", say "translate hello world to this", and get a suggestion of "translate hello world to japanese". | |||
