Just posting to see if it fixes this Forum, as the lower part of this thread is not viewable.

Anna, I found a bit of time to look further into this issue and I have now added provision in a revised skin (Narrative_2.0.1.7RC5)  to allow use of the required tense for (grand)parents. This is achieved by adding extra boolean params to the relevant phrases to indicate whether or not the individual and (grand)parents are alive or not.

In hindsight perhaps other phrases should have been implemented in this way so that more decisions regarding tense etc. can be made in the phrase generator via the Dictionary rather than in the VbScript of Lang.vbs.

I have not changed the English phrases as following some investigation I suspect both forms are correct. However I have added sample phrases to the Dictionary that use the past tense when the individual is dead. i.e. PhParents1, PhGrandParents1 and PhGrandParentsAdopted1. These are not referenced in the report skin but serve as examples and can be implemented by renaming PhParents to PhParents1 and vice versa and similarly for grandparents.

This change should allow you to change your Swedish Dictionary.xml to have the construction you require.
