Little bug in localized human readable rendering of rrule in italian

[ShoresOfNowhere]

When rendering rrules based on weekday repetitions such as "weekly on monday" , the italian language uses a different string for sundays:

weekly on monday -> settimanalmente il lunedì
weekly on sunday -> settimanalmente la domenica

This happens because in italian all weekdays are considered male except for sunday which is considered female, so all other days use "il" which is male but sunday uses "la" which is female.

I don't know if also in other languages sunday has a special treatment for that purpose, but I imagine it can happen.

Can this be resolved?
Thanks!

Oh interesting. I suppose the issue happens in other sentences as well, for example "the first/last Sunday" is going to be different than "the first/last Monday"?

[ShoresOfNowhere]

Sure it does!

the first monday -> il primo lunedì
the first sunday -> la prima domenica

:)

Alright. This means there is no easy fix (that I can think of at least) and the structure of the i18n files need to be changed, so the translations can be different depending on the day of the week. I'm not sure when I'll have the time to look at this, as it's probably not a quick fix.

Does the grammar also change with "the first Monday of the year" vs "the first Sunday of the year", or is the "of the year" part the same? Currently translated dell'anno.

Yes, "of the year" (= "dell'anno") part is the same.

Quick follow up on this - I had a look into it, it's probably doable but it requires quite an extensive refactoring of the translation file structure. I have very little time for this project so it's not something I'm able to tackle right away. I will see if I can get to it at some point. If anyone wants to help, happy to review a PR.
