Message Report.turn.playerNation („Däm %player% sing / ier {{tag:country|%nation%}}“) would need to have GENDER support.

Why? %player% is the name of the player and %nation% is the player's nation.

Nike05:24, 21 April 2011

Because %player% and %nation% have genders, and a Colognian genitive (%player%s) requires two words, one depending on the gender and the numerus of %player%, the other depending on the gender and the numerus of %player% plus the gender and the numerus of %nation%. Numerus can be assumed to be singular for either, that narrows possible choices down to 5 (unknown gender included)

Of course, one can always choose to use a wording for the "all genders unknown" case - not nice but functional.

Afaik, FreeCol does not support GENDER, thus it might be good to point to the places where supporting GENDER would make it better.

So why are you asking for plural if you want gender? We just barely got support for plural and inflection.

OUCH! I am sorry - a typing error.

Corrected above.

You can define genders for %nation% but not for %player%.
