Hi,
Some rulesets have identical strings for two incompatible
tasks, like
Hacker is both the 'adjective' and the male ruler name.
These must be
separated with a context indicator, since they are not
translated the
same way.
The rulesets affected that I could spot on a quick glance:
* hacker
* european
* Some rulesets (e.g. european, aymara) seem to define the
ruler's name
to be the same for male and female. But without a context
separator, it
is also impossible to translate them separately in languages
where
there's always some difference between men and women. Not
that Finnish
is one.
Also, several rulesets have overlapping ruler titles, which
can cause
problems when e.g. "Chieftain" might not quite
be translateable as
'tribal chieftain' for all nations, but just translating
it as a neutral
'leader' for all would be boring. But this is a lesser
problem.
* confederate, european and soviet define a
"Transitional" string, which
needs a translator comment on what it means.
