Lang [male|female]

Not without getting the user to specify their sex, which some people outside of French speaking countries might find strange and intrusive.

In fact, this is a website for employees of a society (1500 employees). And before they can using the site, their account had to be validate by the admin who can validate if the employee is a man or woman.

Will need to do an extra check and add it into the lang array as a different name?

What do you mean by "add it into the lang array as a different name" ? Can you do an example ?

@fdusautoir I don't see how you can do this without adding a lang entry for technicien and technicienne, and a if condition on the user's sex.

I think you can use the Laravel lang choice for this.

'job' => "{0} Technicien|{1}Technicienne",

trans_choice('filename.job', 1);
trans_choice('filename.job', 0);

@RachidLaasri Yeah ! That sounds great ! Thanks ! Thanks too @pobble @pmall @bashy for their help

this post is very old but i didn't found anywhere another trick that i'm using that allow to use the gender AND keep the pluralization. I use a negative value for feminine and a positive value for masculine.

// english
'year' => '[-1,1]year|[*,*]years',

// french
'year' => '[*,-2]années|[-1,0]année|{1}an|[2,*]ans',

then in your code you can do something like that:

trans_choice('project.year', ($isFeminine) ? -abs($count) : abs($count))
