Better handling to 'to be ' & 'to have' verbs in Dictionary in relation to translation to other languages. Now has singular & plural forms and provision for Spanish 'ser' & estar' translations of 'to be'.

• Meta Description & Keyword phases now in Dictionary.xml. Also FramesetSafeguard and 'WriteNarrativeMFU' phrases.
• 'TimelineWrapEvents' option to allow one event per track on timeline. Set to 'N' in Config.xml or Document Custom Tag.
• Fix for IE7 'Overview of Geocoded places' bug.
• Clicking a child name on a family page now causes 'Children' subsection to open and page to scroll to child details.
• SVG pictures on relative path
• Validation of Custom Tags to provide improved error reporting.

There may be more that I have forgotten about!

Update 8 May 2007:
 RC2 has facility to change the Individual tags used to obtain names for the report via Dictionary.xml entries TagNameFull, TagNameFormal, TagNameKnownAs and TagNameShort. Example: change TagNameShort from "Name.Short" to say "Name.FirstAndLast" or just "Name" to use the full name throughout the Report. You can also specify a Custom tag to be used for a name.

Update 9 May 2007:
Apologies for this rash of release candidates but in a rare moment of inspiration I hit upon a reasonably painless way to allow masculine and feminine forms of phrasing without hopefully causing to much disruption to other translations. The attached skin has this feature. Essentially to 'to be' and 'to have' verb Dictionary Entries and also phrases where the subject is either masculine of feminine can have optional additional copies  by appending _F or _M (or even _P) to the default entry name. The attached Dictionary.xml has some extra notes and has ToBe_Past_M and PhBirth_F to serve as examples. Please let me know if I have missed some phrases. These phrases are accesssed via the StrDicMF function in Lang.vbs. May be this will allow someone to produce a French version of the skin for example.

Update No2 9 May 2007:
Added another little fix to deal with the problem raised by jcguasp back in December regarding place prepositions in French. I have used pattern matching 'regular expressions' in the Dictionary to convert à Le ... to au ... and à Les ... to aux ... e.g. 'à Le Mans to 'au Mans' and 'à Les Lilas' to 'aux Lilas'. This is similar to the way Possessive Proper Noun's are handled.
Warning to existing translators:  I have changed the delimiters used in the PossessiveProperNoun Dictionary entry. See Dictionary entry  PlacePrepositionExceptions (to be renamed LocativeProperNoun) and the notes above it for more details.

It's working perfect. I couldn't find any error.

Thanks a lot!

Hi Ron,

Wow! excellent!, : that means no more changes to the lang.vbs!

In spanish the phrases are:

PhBirth
PhNameFriendly
PhOnlyChild
PhTL_Birth
PhChildRank, but here is an additional problem, becuse the gender is reflected too  as suffix of the Ordinal phrase, "a" for female (first=primera, second=segunda, etc.) and "o" for male (first=primero, second=segundo, etc.),  but not when use Oldest(mayor) or Youngest (menor), there should be some way to know when the oldest and youngest are used to skip the suffix.

example:

Thanks Ron,

Hugo.

If parameter 3 is set the usual way then you could have

You are totally rigth Ron, I don't know where my mind was, Sorry for inconvenience and thanks for quick response

Sincerelly,

Hugo

Someone was baptized, but His/Hers godparents ARE (not WERE) unless he/her or godparent is deceased.

So the sentence should say, He/Her was baptized... his/hers godfather IS...  his/hers godmother IS... (unless deceased).

'Was' is correct if 'at the time of the baptism event' is implied. But I agree it is open to misinterpretation.

Unfortunately the tags Birth.Baptism.Godfather/mother are simple text entries and have no IsDead property, and so the script cannot determine whether they are dead or alive. If this is important to you, you could use the 'godparent of' Social Relationship' instead, which does take acount of the IsDead settings.

Also I will change the phrase to say 'was/is' if the Godchild is still alive to reflect this uncertainty.

Feedback: In RC4 there's still missing the gender phrase capability for PhNameFriendly and PhTL_Birth.

By the way, do you have any notice from Dan about the issue with the partner translation. (the solution that you give me is working parfect, but I still need to making changes to lang.vbs and family.htm in each new version of the skin)

Thanks

Hugo
