Description

This issue is to discuss and implement the best way to provide options to a user when a word has more than one possible plural. A case is the German word Schild, which has the plural "Schilde" when it's masculine or neutral and means shield, and "Schilder" when it's neutral and means sign. One possible way to do this is to use the planned UI for scribe-org/Scribe-iOS#49 where a user could be presented with two buttons over the keyboard with information about why a choice is being presented. Pressing either would then insert the chosen plural into the proxy.

  • This issue is linked to scribe-org/Scribe-iOS#49 in that a similar UI could be used, as well as scribe-org/Scribe-Data#19 as this data could be shown to the user to help them make the correct choice of plural
