Many more translations

[CompeyDev]

The current set of translations is limited to only a few jokes languages, and French, since those are the only languages that I confidently speak as of now.

We need to localize for languages other than those that Minecraft supports. Globalism is the way!

For a quick reference, take a look at the English translations:

https://github.com/CompeyDev/pronounspls/blob/d6923a0c1d05517b0cc2dc41558a6eb7606975e6/src/main/resources/data/pronounspls/lang/en_us.json

In case there are multiple matching locales which would have the same translations (such as German and its variants), also update lang_fallbacks.json to include them next to their "parent" language.

hi, just came across this mod, and i haven't used it yet, but here's my 2¢ on pronoun translation, as someone working academically on the translation of gender-neutral/inclusive language: please add the option for players to change/override their pronouns in different languages!
there is no such thing as "equivalence" between pronouns used in different languages, especially when it comes to neopronouns, as many communities use them differently and even create new ones constantly¹- so while offering "default" translation is probably fine and better than nothing in many cases, adding the ability for people to override it with their actual preference would be great!

Footnotes

1. for instance, in French, while "iel", used in this project, is probably the most widely accepted translation of the english singular they, it's very much not the only one, and some (see Alpheratz. 2021. ‘Le Genre Neutre En Français, Expression d’enjeux Du XXIe Siècle’. in Entre masculin et féminin. Français et langues romanes, Sciences du langage, which advocates for different forms for referring to non-binary beings, which are not derived from the commonly used feminine/masculine forms, or a contraction thereof.) ↩

I appreciate your feedback @yukijoou, and I have had the idea of a "custom pronouns" feature (for neopronouns and whatnot), but I have decided to put it off for now, since this mod is specifically focused on pronouns that PronounDB supports.

If PronounDB were to one day add custom pronouns, I would try to maintain parity and implement it into here for non-PronounDB users (those that use the /pronounspls set command instead) as well. This mod was specifically structured in that way technically.

If there is significant support for this idea, I may reconsider this feature.
