i18n-possessive

Convert a noun into its possessive form in any of the supported languages, such as John to John’s (English) or Bella to de Bella (French).

Given a noun {name}, the language support is as follows:

| Language | Locale Code | Possessive Rule | |------------------|------------|----------------| | English | en | Adds ’s to the noun. | | Spanish | es | Uses de before the noun (e.g., "el libro de Juan"). | | French | fr | Uses d’ if the noun starts with a vowel, otherwise de (e.g., "le livre d’Anne", "le livre de Marc"). | | German | de | Adds ’ if the noun ends in s/ß/x/z, otherwise adds s. | | Portuguese | pt | Uses de before the noun. | | Italian | it | Uses di before the noun. | | Russian | ru | Uses ’s (basic handling, may need improvement). | | Hindi | hi | Uses का (masculine) or की (feminine, contextual). | | Arabic | ar | Uses ل before the noun to indicate possession (e.g., "كتاب ل علي" for "Ali’s book"). | | Mandarin Chinese | zh | Uses 的 after the noun (e.g., "张的书" for "Zhang’s book"). | | Japanese | ja | Uses の after the noun (e.g., "田中の本" for "Tanaka’s book"). | | Korean | ko | Uses 의 after the noun (e.g., "철수의 책" for "Chulsoo’s book"). | | Turkish | tr | Uses nın or ın based on vowel harmony. | | Dutch | nl | Adds ’ if the noun ends in s/ß/x/z, otherwise adds s. |
