QuoteMy suggested usages, for the English base, would be:This look like a good solution. But I'm afraid, even in this case there could be some tricky situations. For example for a specific context in English a noun form should be used, but in some other language there should be an adjective.
"male/female" (singular noun)
"male/female" (plural noun)
"male/female" (singular adjective)
"male/female" (plural adjective)
In my opinion, a better solution would be to let localization teams specify gender words for each context.
For instance:
Code Select
<LetterIncidentPsychicDrone>Every {0} in the colony winces in pain...</LetterIncidentPsychicDrone>
<LetterIncidentPsychicDrone_Male>man</LetterIncidentPsychicDrone_Male>
<LetterIncidentPsychicDrone_Female>woman</LetterIncidentPsychicDrone_Female>
If keys like LetterIncidentPsychicDrone_Male and LetterIncidentPsychicDrone_Female were added for all gender-related contexts (there are not so many of them), then both translators and players would be happy
Of course, the final solution is up to development team.
