Notes
does not affect relationship display in other languages

Purpose of this Mod

The way TNG describes the relationship between two individuals follows the English standard. For other languages text snippets in the text.php files are translated accordingly. However, these translations lead to relationship descriptions that are unusual to readers of some of these languages. This is the case of Portuguese and German (and probably a few more). For example, the following relationship:

  • "Alfredo Heuser is the 5 x great nephew of Anna Magdalena Immich"

should be translated to:

  • "Alfredo Heuser ist ein Alturgroßneffe von Anna Magdalena Immich" (German) or
  • "Alfredo Heuser é sobrinho pentaneto de Anna Magdalena Immich" (Portuguese)

This TNG modification changes the way relationships are displayed in German and Portuguese in order to conform these messages to the standards used in these two languages.

This modification affects just German and Portuguese. It should also work if your site is providing content in just one of those languages. Works with sites that use UTF-8, as well as with those that do not use this encoding.

Developer

Mod developer is Carlos Heuser.

German translation was beta tested by Oname.gif. Several corrections to the German translation were introduced by Martin Pannier.
