Date object into Gramps

Dates in Gramps are much more complex than just a month, day, and year. Dates are always in a particular calendar, can span a time frame, can be approximate, and have support for many other subtleties specific to genealogy data.

Lexeme inflections

A lexeme:

  1. (linguistics) Roughly, the set of inflected forms taken by a single word, such as the lexeme RUN including as members "run" (lemma), "running" (inflected form), or "ran", and excluding "runner" (derived term).
  2. (computing) an individual instance of a continuous character sequence without spaces, used in lexical analysis (token)

Types of inflections

{n: nominative}
{g: genitive}
{d: dative}

The nominative cases are found in Estonian, Slovak, Ukrainian, Hungarian, Lithuanian, Georgian, German, Latin, Greek, Icelandic, Old English, Old French, Polish, Serbian, Czech, Romanian, Russian, and Pashto, among other languages.

Many languages have a genitive case, including Albanian, Arabic, Armenian, Basque, Dutch, Estonian, Finnish, Georgian, German, Greek, Icelandic, Irish, Latin, Latvian, Lithuanian, Romanian, Sanskrit, Scottish Gaelic, Turkish and all Slavic languages except Bulgarian and Macedonian.

The dative was common among early Indo-European languages and has survived to the present in the Balto-Slavic branch and the Germanic branch, among others. It also exists in similar forms in several non-Indo-European languages, such as the Uralic family of languages, and Altaic languages.

Examples

#: ../gramps/gen/datehandler/_datestrings.py:70
msgid "localized lexeme inflections||May"
msgstr "И=май|Р=мая|Т=маем|П=мае"

How it is used by Gramps

Gramps extracts all inflections of the same lexeme, stripping the ‘|’, like for context.

The possible formats are either (1) a single string for a language with no inflections, or (2) a list of <inflection name>=<inflected form>, separated with ‘|’.

For example:

  1. “Uninflectable”
  2. “n=Inflected-nominative|g=Inflected-genitive|d=Inflected-dative”
See lexgettext for more details.

Keys into translation strings

Examples

Related to month inflections

#. If there is no special inflection for "from <Month>" in your
#. language, don't translate this string.
#. Otherwise, translate it to the ENGLISH!!! ENGLISH!!!
#. key appearing above in the FORMATS_... dict
#. that maps to the special inflected format string that you need to localize.
#: ../gramps/gen/datehandler/_datedisplay.py:340
msgid "from-date|"
msgstr ""
#. If there is no special inflection for "and <Month>" in your
#. language, don't translate this string.
#. Otherwise, translate it to the ENGLISH!!! ENGLISH!!!
#. key appearing above in the FORMATS_... dict
#. that maps to the special inflected format string that you need to localize.
#: ../gramps/gen/datehandler/_datedisplay.py:369
msgid "and-date|"
msgstr ""
#. If there is no special inflection for "before/after/around <Month>" in your
#. language, don't translate this string.
#. Otherwise, translate it to the ENGLISH!!! ENGLISH!!!
#. key appearing above in the FORMATS_... dict
#. that maps to the special inflected format string that you need to localize.
#. TODO are there languages for which the inflections for the different
#. modifiers are different?!
#: ../gramps/gen/datehandler/_datedisplay.py:386
msgid "before-date|"
msgstr ""

date on context is maybe confusing? What about: from-month|, and-month|, before-month|?

Migrations and refactorings

> $ PYTHONPATH=/usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/ GRAMPS_RESOURCES=$PWD LANGUAGE=de
python -m gramps.gen.datehandler._datestrings

LC_TIME={lang_region}.utf8 or LANGUAGE={lang} should match all available date handlers.

See # 6926 for patches. Git => revision 918785..
