 == The structure of the language file ==
+Each language in Parser 2 gets its own settings file. You'll need to look up the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_ISO_639-1_codes ISO 639-1 code for your language]... Here we'll use English (code <code>en</code>) as an example here and the language settings file would then be called <code>en.js</code> and go in the <code>/ubiquity/modules/parser/new/</code> directory of the repository.
+Here is the basic template for a Ubiquity Parser 2 language file:
+  function makeParser() {
+    var en = new Parser('en');
+  ...
+    return en;
+  };
+Everything here is wrapped in a factory function called <code>makeParser</code>. This function initializes the new <code>Parser</code> object with the appropriate language code, sets a bunch of parameters (elided above) and returns it. That's it!
+Now let's walk through some of the parameters you must set to get your language working. For reference, the properties the language parser object is required to have are: <code>branching</code>, <code>anaphora</code>, and <code>roles</code>.
