I might be missing obvious here, but how does having per-person relationship
strings help producing sane reports? The rest of the report strings=20
(take the verbose FTM-style once for example) are localized and not
adjustable.=20

If we want to make language adjustable, that has to be for the whole
report.

However, in principle, nothing prevents us from making the language of the=

relationship calculator adjustable. Right now we're loading one plugin
based on locale. In addition to that, we could have a menu with all
available plugins and load one upon demand.

That said, I still don't see how it increases sanity of the output. Also,
if one wants to see e.g. German relationships, one supposedly understands
German, so why not work in German locale with German interface in the=20
