I noticed there is a promise to have improvements in pronouns. While I welcome both changing "he" to neutral "they", I also hope there are something for us translating to other languages as well.
Different languages have different grammar. ${you} is especially difficult case in Finnish, and it is one of the most common variable out there. Many of the Finnish translations require a lot of skill and bending of the meaning to be able to translate them well. In Finnish language "you must" is especially tricky, as you is in genitive in Finnish in this sentence ("your" or "sinun"), not nominal ("You" or "sinä"). The only ways people have found around this is to either change the meaning to "you can" or ignore and the sentence sounds clunky and is wrong (comparable to english "you turn")
I wish that there were options to use other grammatical cases of words for agglunative languages such as Finnish, Japanese, Hungarian and others, where the word changes accordingly to the context.
I really wish there could be various forms with some added tag, e.g. ${you:genitive} or ${you=sinun} or such, so that these could be used in translation in place of ${you}.
In Finnish translations I see need for these specific grammatical cases:
Sinä = You, nominative
Sinun = Your, genitive
Sinua = [for] You, partitive
Sinulta = [from] you, ablative
Sinulle = [at] You, adessive
Sinulle = [to] you, allative
There are other grammatical cases too, but personally I think these would be most important for Finnish translations.
