--- Comment #1 from Purodha Blissenbach <[email protected]> 2011-04-22 17:31:26 UTC --- More detailed analysis: $1 can be a single user or a list of users. - Single case: Why supply $6, when we have $1 already and they are equal? - List case: GENDER needs to be applied to each list element. For example, if we had three users in the list: - Petra (feminine) - Pitter (masculine) - P.T. (gender unknown) then $1, translated, had to be: Et Petra, dä Pitter, un dä Metmaacher P.T. (Note the initial capital!) How to distinguish between single user and list of users? It's generally impossible. - For the languages having a PLURAL branch of "n==1", you can (mis)use PLURAL for the purpose. - For the rest of the languages, you are at a loss. In wikis having the parser functions extension installed, you could make local versions of the messages using parser functions, but that is not a general solution. $3 looks like another user name or list. GENDER needs to be used on $3 or each user in $3 as well, in the same way as above. All in all, this seems not really to work. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug. _______________________________________________ Wikibugs-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikibugs-l
