I decided to add a new topic for this matter since I believe some grammar issues that aren't an issue in English have to be dealt with in another languages.

(For example, sentences "He is..." and "He has..." are translated in Finnish "Hän on..." and "Hänellä on", i.e. the personal pronoun is inflected while "is" and "has" are both translated "on").

I confess I have focused primarily on maintaining and enhancing the English Narrative Report without paying much attention to the issues of other language translations. However I have recently been reviewing the posts in this section of the forum.

Can the following routine Sub WriteNarrativeMFU(i, coll, strDicPrefix) be transferred from lang.vbs to the dictionary, since I have to include japanese characters.

Does this simply mean you would like the statement
 Report.WritePhrase "{  }{\U}{!0} {!1} {2h}.", PnP(i), ToHave(i, coll), StrHtmlCollectionMFU(coll, strDicPrefix, StrHtmlNarrativeNamesShort(coll))
replaced by say
 Report.WritePhraseDic "PhNarrativeMFU", PnP(i), ToHave(i, coll), StrHtmlCollectionMFU(coll, strDicPrefix, StrHtmlNarrativeNamesShort(coll))
with PhNarrativeMFU translating to "{  }{\U}{!0} {!1} {2h}." in the Dictionary?

Please also note that the nominative form includes a suffix "は”、pronounced "wa" in this context, although it is "ha".
If this can be included in the dictionary, it will also makes things easy later on.

I must admit I am unclear what you mean here. I am not a linguist and had to look up what was meant by 'nominative form'! Is it not possible to simply add this "は” suffix to the 'T' attribute of the Dictionary phrases PnP_M, PnP_F & PnP_ ? Perhaps you could elaborate on this.
