Can I change the narrative place name?
If yes, how?

I meant:
If the place name is eg. Starogard Gdański, we say:
Starogard Gdański is the city of his family. - Starogard Gdański to miasto jego rodziny.
|
but
He was born in Starogard Gdański - On urodził się w Starogardzie Gdańskim (not "w Starogard Gdański") |

I suggest you create a new place with this new name and use this name for this person`s birth place until you have solved this grammatical issue.

A present there are two ways to derive the locative case of a Proper Noun as you require in Polish. The first is to use NameDictionary.xml as you have indicated. The second way is to use a VBScript 'regular expression' via the Dictionary entry LocativeProperNoun but this will be very difficult or even impossible unless the locative case can be generated using a simple set of rules. Alternatively it is possible to add code to handle an extra Custom Tag for Places, e.g. Name.Locative to hold this form which will allow you to add it via the Table Layout by adding this Custom Tag column. I have made the required coding changes in the attached Init.htm file that you can try in your custom Polish skin. You can enter the locative form either with or without the preposition, but if it is included ,or indeed is not required, then any leading space must be entered and the place name should be enclosed in square brackets. e.g. either ' w [Starogardzie Gdańskim] ' or 'Starogardzie Gdańskim '. In the last case the standard preposition action will be applied. If you can confirm that this meets your needs then I will include it in the next release of the Report skin.

Hmmm...
Your Init.htm doesn't work correctly with our Polish skin... 
I think using the NameDictionary.xml will be better, but how should I create this file, and how to use it (language codes etc.)?
Please write me soon. You don't know how many people will be happy to solve this problem 
According to the last post: I agree completelly with Alex, enable this field will be better solution for all users of GenoPro in the world.
Please help us 
------------------------------------- Edit: I've created the newest Polish skin, which works perfectly with version 2.0.1.6. I've uptaded it on http://support.genopro.com/Topic18532-103-4.aspx
The only problem is the narrative forms of places, so help us as soon as possible.

I have now added a version of Init.htm to my earlier post that works with 2.0.1.6 (EN version at least :hehe . You will obviously need to rename this to back Init.htmLet me know the details if this still gives problems. But I suggest you try and move your Dictionary & Config to the latest Narrative skin as there are issues with thumbnails and other items in 2.0.1.6. The NameDictionary approach is probably the least user-friendly. However the requirements are documented at the head of the skeleton file included with the skin. You need to add lines such as this for eaqch of your places at the end of the file where indicated by the line <!-- Place your own entries below here --> <N P.PL="Starogard Gdański" P.PL_L="w [Starogardzie Gdańskim]"/>

and then set the Configuration parameter in the Language Settings section to get locative noun forms from the NameDictionary and to Alex, Yes indeed I agree whole-heartedly that it would be good to have something similar integrated into GenoPro itself. However this requires that the proposal is adopted by GenoPro Inc. for inclusion in the product. GenoPro Gamma is now approaching a year late so I wonder when or if it might get included. I have put in many 'work-arounds' via Custom Tags - so many I can't remember all of them! One day I must write a guide to customising the Narrative Report .....
