[ http://jira.andromda.org/browse/UMLMETA-66?page=comments#action_12421 ] Cédric Vidal commented on UMLMETA-66: -------------------------------------
Damian Conway's "An Algorithmic Approach to English Pluralization" paper seems to be the reference algorithm on the subject as far as english is concerned: http://www.csse.monash.edu.au/~damian/papers/HTML/Plurals.html He gives a reference implementation written in perl: http://www.csse.monash.edu.au/~damian/CPAN/Lingua-EN-Inflect.tar.gz > Add pluralization support for languages other than english and enhance > english support > -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: UMLMETA-66 > URL: http://jira.andromda.org/browse/UMLMETA-66 > Project: UML Metafacades > Type: Improvement > Versions: 3.1 Final > Reporter: Cédric Vidal > Assignee: Wouter Zoons > > Today, metafacades' names pluralization uses > org.andromda.utils.StringUtilsHelper#pluralize(String) which only deals with > english, and english words are not always well pluralized, for example, knife > is pluralized to knifes instead of knives and child is pluralized to childs > instead of children. > Adding a more complete pluralization support for all languages would be great. ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
