Summary | 0001759: Dwarf has created Taron Merig, a ashen crossbow (should be "an") | ||||||||||
Description | nothing major, just a text bug. When artifacts are created the string doesn't check to see if what has been created starts with a vowel or not. So it always uses "a" whatever instead of properly using "an" in some situations. | ||||||||||

This has been a general minor issue always, I believe. The difficulty is that "a"/"an" doesn't depend on spelling but on pronunciation, so pronunciation data have to be either generated or supplied for every language the game displays to be able to fix this. |

"Taron Merig a ashen crossbow." I can see how 'h' or 'y' might be problematic but you'd think aeiou could be fixed. |

Well, 'h' and 'y' depends on your pronunciation. In most cases, I think I'd pronounce them, so I'd take 'a', but I know some people like to ignore initial 'h's and 'y's and throw 'an's in front. Perhaps that could be an option you can set, then. As for on vowels, I think it's actually checking against the item (crossbow) rather than the entire phrase. Just speculation, though. |
