Support for triplets and quadruplets #4126

Open TheDutchJewel opened 2 years ago

TheDutchJewel commented 2 years ago

It was noted on the forum that in webtrees multiples (twins, triplets, quadruplets etc.) are always referred to as twins.

That will also be the reason that in weblate only the translations are possible for twins (twin sibling, twin sister and twin brother).

Can this be extended to triplets and quadruplets?

This is not a translation issue.

This is the code which calculates the relationship between two individuals, and then creates a localised name for that relationship.

The logic looks at the birthdates of the two individuals, and creates the labels "older brother", "younger sister", "twin sibling", etc.

It does not know about other individuals who may have the same birthday.

Perhaps an option would be to add support for 1 BIRT/2_ASSO/3 RELA and 1 ASSO/2 RELA, as in the Extended Family module?

AFAICT, GEDCOM 7 uses ROLE=MULTIPLE for this.

We should aim to be compatible.
