Country adjectives in French

[IohannesIohannium]

Through the use of customizable locs, EU4 shows correctly gendered French adjectives.

A dynamic file should be created, named /customizable_localization/!00_countryadjectives_FR.txt and should contain the following blocks, with [TAG] being an example and each text entry being repeated for each tag that is found to be in the output mod, plus special cases*:

defined_text = {
	name = GetRootAdjMS
	random = no
	### HIGHER PRIORITY ###
	text = {
		localisation_key = string_[TAG]_ADJ_ms_FR
		trigger = { tag = [TAG] }
	}
}

defined_text = {
	name = GetRootAdjFS
	random = no
	### HIGHER PRIORITY ###
	text = {
		localisation_key = string_[TAG]_ADJ_fs_FR
		trigger = { tag = [TAG] }
	}
}

defined_text = {
	name = GetRootAdjMP
	random = no
	### HIGHER PRIORITY ###
	text = {
		localisation_key = string_[TAG]_ADJ_mp_FR
		trigger = { tag = [TAG] }
	}
}

defined_text = {
	name = GetRootAdjFP
	random = no
	### HIGHER PRIORITY ###
	text = {
		localisation_key = string_[TAG]_ADJ_fp_FR
		trigger = { tag = [TAG] }
	}
}

Among special cases are this one to be put at the end of each defined_text box:

	text = {
		localisation_key = string_Root_ADJ_[a]_FR # Fallback for Colonial/RNW/Dynamic nations
		trigger = { is_dynamic_tag = yes }
	}

[a] is s in MS and FS, p in MP and FP

Then there are some that need to be at the start of each defined_text box, that should be kept in a configurable file since they may change in new EU4 patches. Such a configurable, specialFrenchAdjectives.txt, would feature four blocks, namely MS, FS, MP and FP. What is inside the MS block would be copied to GetRootAdjMS as is, just after the random = no line and before the HIGHER PRIORITY one.

The generation of adjectives from CK3 could recycle the script used for Vic2-HoI4, although adjectives from CK3 are feminine by default rather than masculine. The configurable file for adjectives would be named frenchAdjectives.txt

This GetRoot big block would then be repeated verbatim for GetFrom, GetRootOwner, GetRootOverlord

c_pest:0 "Pest"
c_pest_adj:0 "pestienne"
X12_ADJ is copied as pestienne
We match the string pestienne against a "French adjective rules" config file
It matches the rule triggered by "(.+)nne"

And we output:
X12: "Pest"
X12_ADJ: "pestienne"
string_X12_ADJ_ms_FR: "pestien"
string_X12_ADJ_fs_FR: "pestienne"
string_X12_ADJ_mp_FR: "pestiens"
string_X12_ADJ_fp_FR: "pestiennes"

then the upper file with 4 blocks with [TAG] replaced by X12
for every tag that we generate or rename

[Zemurin]

defined_text = {
name = GetRootAdjMS
random = no
...
text = {
localisation_key = string_Z99_ADJ_ms_FR
trigger = { tag = Z99}
}
text = {
localisation_key = string_Root_ADJ_s_FR
trigger = { is_dynamic_tag = yes }
}
}
... means other lines
defined_text = {
...
text = {
localisation_key = string_Z99_ADJ_fp_FR
trigger = { tag = Z99}
}
text = {
localisation_key = string_Root_ADJ_p_FR
trigger = { is_dynamic_tag = yes }
}
}

Ditto for another "defined_text" block

[Zemurin]

This block is copied over four times, first time with name = GetRootAdjMS, then with name = GetFromAdjMS, third with name = GetRootOwnerAdjMS, last with name = GetRootOverlordAdjMS

EU4 also has localized [TAG]_ADJ2 entries. They are of no use in English, but are used for "prefix"-form adjectives. E.g. the Anglo-French War instead of the English-French War.

Configurable used for generation:

french = {
	# Special cases
	link = { source = "(.+)allemande" adj = "(.+)germano" }
	link = { source = "(.+)autrichienne" adj = "(.+)austro" }
	link = { source = "(.+)chinoise" adj = "(.+)sino" }
	link = { source = "(.+)espagnole" adj = "(.+)hispano" }
	link = { source = "(.+)grecque" adj = "(.+)gréco" }
	link = { source = "(.+)hongroise" adj = "(.+)magyaro" }
	link = { source = "(.+)japonaise" adj = "(.+)nippo" }
	link = { source = "(.+)portugaise" adj = "(.+)luso" }
	link = { source = "(.+)suisse" adj = "(.+)helvéto" }
	link = { source = "(.+)bosniaque" adj = "(.+)bosno" }
	link = { source = "(.+)gauloise" adj = "(.+)gallo" }
	link = { source = "(.+)britannique" adj = "(.+)britanno" }
	link = { source = "(.+)américaine" adj = "(.+)américano" }
	# Usual endings
	link = { source = "(.+)aine" adj = "(.+)o" }
	link = { source = "(.+)çaise" adj = "(.+)co" }
	link = { source = "(.+)aise" adj = "(.+)o" }
	link = { source = "(.+)ienne" adj = "(.+)o" }
	link = { source = "(.+)çoise" adj = "(.+)co" }
	link = { source = "(.+)oise" adj = "(.+)o" }
	link = { source = "(.+)onne" adj = "(.+)o" }
	link = { source = "(.+)tique" adj = "(.+)to" }
	link = { source = "(.+)èque" adj = "(.+)éco" }
	link = { source = "(.+)ègue" adj = "(.+)égo" }
	link = { source = "(.+)que" adj = "(.+)co" }
	link = { source = "(.+)gue" adj = "(.+)go" }
	link = { source = "(.+)a" adj = "(.+)o" }
	link = { source = "(.+)e" adj = "(.+)o" }
	link = { source = "(.+)i" adj = "(.+)o" }
	link = { source = "(.+)o" adj = "(.+)o" }
	link = { source = "(.+)u" adj = "(.+)uvo" }
	link = { source = "(.+)" adj = "(.+)o" } # Fallback
}

As I could not find out a suitable list of equivalent "prefix"-forms for Spanish, I could not set out rules for them.

Example of how things go:

• input loc pestienne, matches rule with (.+)ienne as source: output pesto (Guerre pesto-anglaise)
• input loc suisse, matches rule with (.+)suisse as source: output helvéto (Guerre helvéto-anglaise)
