weird currency pluralization

Postby St Flanders » Sat Sep 24, 2022 3:39 pm

Nationstates seems to ignore hyphens with currency, so hi-de-ho becomes his-de-ho

I heard that Hyphens are for communists.

Communism? Not in my nationstates!

Breaking news: Emperor Sebastian Dean has become increasingly paranoid, accusing some of his most well known Anti-Communist advisors and officials of “socialist behavior”. | Our (Unofficial) Allies in Krieg have begun helping Rebels in the communist occupied Japan! The Texan government commends this!

Can you reproduce this if you change your currency?

Just did a couple tests myself.

"La-de-da" pluralizes as "las-de-da."

"La-di-da" pluralizes as "la-dis-da."

"La-dee-da" pluralizes as "la-dees-da."

"Hodey-ho" pluralizes as "hodey-hoes," as one might expect.

"Fleur-de-lys" pluralizes as "fleurs-de-lys."

Seems like it's detecting the double hyphens as being from non-English languages and trying to apply the appropriate plural form.

I feel like they should have a feature where you're able to either select which language the plural form of the currency is translated through, i.e. beston to bestones instead of bestons, or just letting you put in the plural form that you prefer.

Thanks for testing. I've flagged this bug backstage.

Isn't '"fleurs-de-lys" the correct pluralisation?

Yeah, as far as I know with my limited French. I probably should have noted that. I actually tried "fleur-de-lys" because I suspected it was recognizing the "-de-" as French. But I'm not sure where "-dis-" in "la-di-da" and "dees" in "la-dee-da" could be coming from.

My knowledge of French is also limited, but I was going by my knowledge of 'armorial' [i.e. "heraldic"] terminology instead. Then again, in that contexxt it might be based on an old rule no longer used in French itself -- or perhaps be as used in Norman-French (or so some other relevant dialect) raather than in the Parisian French that has become standard over there since Medieval times...

Or, you could just check Wiktionary. (Notably, if it's to be believed, then the hyphenated form is only used in English.)
