At least the German translation needs an additional case field for
nations, because phrases like

        #: server/diplhand.c:150
        #, c-format
        msgid "Game: The %s have aquired %s from the %s"
        msgstr "Spiel: Die %s haben Kenntnisse über %s von den %s erhalten."

aren't translatable. Problem is the 3rd %s: different endings are needed.

IMHO s.th. like the "plurals-list" has to be added:

        Example:
                #: data/default/nations.ruleset:125
                msgid "German"
                msgstr "deutsch"

                #: data/default/nations.ruleset:126
                msgid "?plural:Germans"
                msgstr "?plural:Deutschen"

        NEW:    msgid "?dativ:Germans"
