Marty, can you please give us some comparative examples in English and Spanish?

Marty, can you please give us some comparative examples in English and Spanish?

yes. here is the example
on english when you create invoice, article etc you get notification
"Invoice created" or "Article created" and is ok because english doesnt change verbs based on the noun gender.

in spanish invoice is "Factura" and article is "Articulo" and you get
"Articulo creado" "Factura creado"

"Articulo creado" is correct because "articulo" is male gender.
but correct form for "Factura creado" is "Factura creada" because "factura" is female gender
so you cant use the same translation variable for both

OK, now I see the problem with gender, applicable for Albanian too 😉 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grammatical_gender

Tagged the change for 2.1 version.

Same with Portuguese language.
Not only with :types but with other words too, like new. In english new is ok for everything (payments, invoices, bills etc) but in Portuguese its different, we use novo for male words (payment, vendor, costumer etc) and nova for female (invoice, bill, account etc)

Maybe that is a possible solution. It creates redundancie words, but it works.

But I don't know what the impact of that change would be, because that is complex. 🤔

That other project is a good reference:

But I can't assess what the impact of that change on the others consolidated translations on Crowdin and with addition of more words. 💲📈👀

Maybe a good strategy would be to add a little bit of words every now and then and to do the monitoring. Can I make a little pull request? 🙂

Yeah, it will require lots of new language strings, so we've postponed it. Just skip this for now.

A workaround that allows you to replace some the official translation without editing its core:

It has a bit impact on performance, but can be useful for some use cases. 🤷🏻‍♂️

This will be archived when there is new language strings. 🙂👍🏼
