-------------------------------------
Well I understand that you want to avoid complexity, but at least let's
implement pluggability support.
Here is a scenario, the language could be specified at the model level like
that for example:
in andromda.xml:
<model>
<uri>${test.model.uri}</uri>
<inflector class="my.company.LanguageAwareInflector">
<!-- custom inflector parameters, typically the language code -->
<language>fr</language>
</inflector>
<moduleSearchLocations>
<location
patterns="**/*.xml.zip">${settings.localRepository}/org/andromda/profiles/uml14</location>
</moduleSearchLocations>
</model>
For each model, an inflector would be attached. The implemention would be
looked up in the classpath based on the class attribute, and parameters passed
to it. The actual inflection would be delegated to the looked up inflector.
If no custom inflector is specified, the default english inflector would be
used, it would be the only inflector implementation present in AndroMDA, so
that it stays simple, while allowing projects willing to model in other
languages to specify their own inflector implementation without having to write
a cartridge.
Today's org.andromda.utils.StringUtilsHelper#pluralize(String) would be
replaced by a call to the model's attached inflector. It would't even depend on
the language.
Please don't tell me that it's complicated ;)

> Today, metafacades' names pluralization uses
> org.andromda.utils.StringUtilsHelper#pluralize(String) which only deals with

> is pluralized to knifes instead of knives and child is pluralized to childs
> instead of children.
> Adding a more complete pluralization support for all languages would be great.
