[Freeciv-Dev] Sugg: Make the "select nation" use get_nation_name_plural?

Hi again,
I think the nation-selector window should use "Singaporeans"
instead of "Singaporean". That is, get_nation_name_plural instead of
get_nation_name.
Using the plural
1) is at least as natural as using get_nation_name (which isn't really the
nation name and I don't think it serves anyone to try to make it look like
one any more than it does ;)) and
2) saves the poor Finnish translation team by not forcing us to come up
with something in between a nationality attribute and a nationality name
(which tend to look the same in English, you lucky things ;)) just to not
look utterly silly in the startup window, see my earlier L10n rant for
details.
get_nation_name (1.12.0 current) gives:
"Select nation and name:
o Singaporean
o Zulu
o Israeli
o Inca"
Instead, using get_nation_name_plural would be closer to:
"Select nation and name:
o Singaporeans
o Zulus
o Israelis
o Incas"
I'd greatly appreciate it if someone fixed this for me. I don't do C
and have no experience in submitting patches myself.
