The original sentence: "Place %n boy(s) and %n girl(s) in the center. Then split %n pieces of candy equally between them.” could maybe be changed to: “Place some children in the center, %n from the left and %n from the right. Then split %n pieces of candy equally between them.” Perhaps that would

Hi, As you said, this is off-topic regarding the initial issue (the problem will still be present even if the proposed changes here are applied). I was really reluctant to reply because it's a delicate subject, more philosophical/political/social than related to GCompris and I don't really want to
