Change Type of Supervisor e.g. 'Betreuerin'

[Dr4UX]

I am using the class tudscrreprt. Since my supervisor is a woman I would like to adjust the field 'Betreuer' on the titlepage to 'Betreuerin'. In the code I found the following command fulfilling my purpose \renewcaptionname{ngerman}{\supervisorname}{Betreuerin}. It would probably be a good idea to add that to the documentation since it took me half an hour to get a solution and I guess I am not the only one having that issue.

It is contained in the documentation, section 2.4. I am not happy with the wording of the title but never found a better one. Feel free to make suggestions.

Nevertheless, by just searching the PDF for "Betreuer" would habe brought you right to this section. Or did you find it and it was still not clear, what to do?

I searched in the documentation on ctan. After going through the whole thing two more times today I finally found it there and understood that this was the command I was searching for. I guess it would be really handy to include a proper example how to change from 'Betreuer' to 'Betreuerin'.

In my opinion it is also important to definitely have the word 'Betreuerin' or 'Professorin' in there since this would be the word I would be searching for in the first place. Probably also change the section title to something like 'Sprachabhängige Bezeichner und Personenbezeichner' to make clear this is the section to search for. Or include a subsection 'Personenbezeichner' and give some examples there.

Well, I could argue that searching for the origin caption "Betreuer" makes more sense as if you wanted to change into "Someone with sick scientific skills" you wouldn't search for this phrase either, would you?

Nevertheless, I started to revise the documentation a long time ago and got stuck in between. I will add an example and think about the wording for the section. And I probably will go for gender-neutral phrases as default.
