#768 Relation details in Danish and other Languages

[Henrik Clausen]

You have already made a great effort to allow for language and gender dependent naming of relatives, such as defined by the variables $pgv_lang["femalecousin"] and $pgv_lang["malecousin"] in the lang.xx.php files. To complete the possibilities (at least for the Danish (and presumably also for other Nordic languages)), please consider to also include (variable names are merely suggestions, example translation shown below each item):

$pgv_lang["aunt"] (existing variable but is strictly speaking "parent's sister-in-law" only in Danish)
"Aunt" "Tante"
(UK) (DK)

$pgv_lang["uncle"] (existing variable but is strictly speaking "parent's brother-in-law" only)
"Uncle" "Onkel"

Aunt, Mother's sister
$pgv_lang["aunt_motherside"]
"Aunt" "Moster"

Aunt, Father's sister
$pgv_lang["aunt_fatherside"]
"Aunt" "Faster"

Uncle, Mother's brother
$pgv_lang["aunt_fatherside"]
"Uncle" "Morbror"

Uncle, Father's brother
$pgv_lang["aunt_fatherside"]
"Uncle" "Farbror"

Likewise, the list of grandchildren could be expanded into the seven different possibilities. They are rarely used, but maybe other languages need it (at least it will make the list complete).

$pgv_lang["grandchild"] (Existing)
"Grandchild" "Barnebarn"

$pgv_lang["grandson"] (Existing)
"Grandson" "Barnebarn" (not distinguished in Danish, see below)

$pgv_lang["granddaughter"] (Existing)
"Granddaughter" "Barnebarn" (not distinguished in Danish, see below)

$pgv_lang["sonson"]
"Grandson" "Sønnesøn"

$pgv_lang["daughterdaughter"]
"Granddaughter" "Barnebarn" (not used in Danish)

$pgv_lang["daughterson"]
"Grandson" "Dattersøn"

$pgv_lang["sondaughter"]
"Granddaughter" "Barnebarn" (not used in Danish)

I know that this would also mean that the rest of the program will have to learn to make these new distinction between relations, but it would make a huge difference to the understanding for Danish (and Nordic?) visitors and users.
