However I beleive that bug https://github.com/widelands/widelands/issues/4490 is currently standing a bit in the way. I'll start with the tribe specific translations then until this gets fixed Top Quote

If possible use female descriptions, verbs and prenoms for them. I implemented it this way for german and started the spanish translation Top Quote

I think pretty much every occurence of "Soldier" is tranlsated by "Soldats" which would imply that there is at least one man in the group. "Soldates" is not a word that is used often, but it would fit better. The thing is, I can change it when i see an occurence, and i intend to give some time to translations, but i won't actively look for each occurence right now. Should i do it when i see one, or is consistency in the names more important, untill I or a couple of people decide to invest the time to change them all/most of them? Top Quote
