 Grammar syntax definition: <<(case,)grammar:value id>> / <<(case,)grammar:'gender of' value id(, value id)>> Grammar options: a = indefinite article (a/an) A = definite article (the) c = first character lower case C = first character upper case f = format numbers according language F = format numbers according language and force use of thousands separator g = genitive linkage of two entries using indefinite article G = genitive linkage using definite article (needs 2 values e.g. <<g:1,2>>) i = ordinal numbers (each number will receive the language correct suffix like 1st, 2nd, 3rd, ... I = ordinal numbers according the gender of the second parameter (mostly used in German e.G: "2ter"/"2te") l = location as "you are here" (given id must refer to a location) using the position defined in the gender L = location as "go to" (given id must refer to a location) using the position defined in the gender n = name numbers (0-12 will be written as text like 'one', 'two', ... with i set: 'first', 'second', ...) N = name numbers as 'n' with first character upper case m = multiple (plural) of the given word ('mouse' becomes 'mice', other languages than English require the 'singular|plural' definition below) q = use single quote if proper name (standalone <<q0>> = language specific single quote start, <<q1>>= language specific single quote end) Q = use double quotes if proper name (standalone <<Q0>> = language specific double quote start, <<Q1>>= language specific double quote end) R = format number as Roman writing ('2012' becomes 'MMXII') t = format text in title style using uppercase first letters according a language's title rules T = format text in title style using all words uppercase first letters, no matter what x = placeholder value itself will not be shown, only possibly added words like articles X = when possible no grammar rules are applied and the value will be printed on the screen unchanged z = all characters inluding articles lowercase Z = all characters inluding articles uppercase Grammar options - pronouns: d = demonstrative pronoun ('this value') [mostly used in foreign languages] D = Demonstrative pronoun ('this' without value) [mostly used in foreign languages] o# = possessive pronoun (#1=my, #2=your, #3=his/her/its, ... / default is 3 [Attention: 'gender of' value id needed for #3, eg <<o:1>> or <<o:1,2>>)] O# = pOssessive pronoun used substitutional (#1=mine, #2=yours,... /default is 3 [Attention: 'gender of' value id needed for #3 and case is needed)] p# = personal pronoun (#1=I, #2=you, #3=he/she/it, ... / default is 3 [Attention: 'gender of' value id needed for #3, eg <<p:1>>)] P# = Dative Personal pronoun (#1=me, #2=you, #3=him/her/it, ... / default is 3 [Attention: 'gender of' value id needed for #3, eg <<P:1>>)] r# = reflexive pronoun (#1=myself, #2=yourself, #3=himself/herself/itself, ... / default is 3 [Attention: 'gender of' value id needed for #3, eg <<r:1>>)] Grammar case definitions: The grammar cases are added in front of the regular grammar definition seperated by a comma nom = nominative (1st case, default, in RU also 'ime' & 'име') gen = genitive (2nd case, in RU also 'rod' & 'род') dat = dative (3rd case, default for Grammar option 'r', in RU also 'дат') acc = accusative (4th case, in DE also 'akk', in RU also 'vin' & 'вин') ins = instrumental (5th Russian case, in RU also 'tvo' & 'тво') pre = prepositive (6th Russian case, in RU also 'пре') e.g. "<<gen,A:2>>"; "<<akk,a:1>>", ... Gender definitions: ^ separates name and gender definition m = male f = female n = neutral p = plural (can be combined with 'm' or 'f') l = (Russian only, combined with 'm' or 'f') living e.g. sword^n, orc^m, dwarf^f, coins^p - Using uppercase = don't use articles (as for proper names) e.g. "Anwar's Sword^N", "Anwar^M", "Bella^F", "Bella's coins^P", ... - Gender definitions for locations can be extended by any position seperated by a comma: e.g. "Ekrund^N,in" or "Mountain^n,on" or "Gate^n,at", ... - (Russian only) livings e.g. "воительница^fl", "глаз^mfl", "дедушки^pml", ... Additional Gender definitions: c = (German only) last adjective in front of nomen is uppercase (<<A:mächtiger dunkler Lord^fc>> = der mächtige Dunkle Lord) C = (German only) all adjectives in front of nomen are uppercase (<<A:mächtiger dunkler Lord^fC>> = der Mächtige Dunkle Lord) d = always use definite article in lowercase (I see <<a:Red Sun^nd>> = I see the Red Sun) D = always use definite article in uppercase (I see <<a:Red Sun^nD>> = I see The Red Sun) g = (German only) define owner with one words (<<Xenas dunkler Lord^Mcg>> with Xenas [owner], Dunkler Lord [name]) G = (German only) define owner with two words (<<dunkler Lords Xena^McG>> with Dunkler Lords [owner], Xena [name]) r = (German only) some special words ending with "-er" are not declined by the "-e" rule ("Gläubiger^m", "Gläubiger^mr") s = Used for uncountable words (like water, meat, milk, ...). When indefinite article is needed the word "some" will be used: "water^ns" becomes "some water" Singular/plural variable definition: With the <<m:...>> Grammar option you can request the plural of a word. In English the Grammar will automatically create the plural from a singular noun. In all other languages it is required to define the singular and plural together by using '||' as a seperator. Using the seperator '||' will overwrite any automatic singular -> plural conversion. e.g. "lonely mouse||many mice" You can also use gender tags: "Maus^f||Mäuse^p" Singular/plural text differentiation: For different texts depending on a value. To add the value use $d ($s can be used in seldom terms of giving a gender like ^m/^f or ^p instead of a number).
Example: You have selected <<n:1[nothing/an item/$d items]>>. Do you want to buy <<1[anything/it/them]>>? - value = 0: You have selected nothing. Do you want to buy anything? - value = 1: You have selected an item. Do you want to buy it? - value = 10: You have selected ten items. Do you want to buy them? - value = 20: You have selected 20 items. Do you want to buy them? Male/female text differentiation: For different texts depending on a gender.
Example: Greetings |n, <<|n{son/daugther}>> of Valaya! - player name = Anwar^M: Greetings Anwar, son of Valaya! - player name = Xena^F: Greetings Xena, daugther of Valaya! |
