So you can use. The first parameter (between the colon and first pipe) is not displayed, it's the user name to test. If this user name is empty, it will take the default from the visitor's account name. If it is a single dot (.) the gender will be site-depandant (according to its own default gender in the locale for which you create this translation).

Note however that there's still no way to infer contractions depending on the orthography of user names, so you have to find a formulation where such contraction is not needed. I don't know in which language you want to add an article, because according to your profile, this should not be needed in German (and probably not in Kölsch as well).

You should review your Babel profile (in your user page) if you really intent to translate into Tachelit, or Europanto and Lingua Franca Nova (Cyrillic), because your stated level should not qualify you to work on these languages.

Note that if you assert a good level in some language, you MUST be prepared to be able to understand these languages clearly and to write it correctly, including when somebody will talk in your user page (he could test your level and ask you to reduce your stated level, or ask you to stop contributing translations here, except minor punctuations and easily infered fixes). Don't contribute by just trusting the translation memories or automatic translation engines (Google and Microsoft are using English as their intermediate language, and Appertium finds most translations apparently using Spanish as its intermediate language, but evn if they find an exact match, the context of use plays an important role and they can't guess it, just like they don't read and understand the "/qqq" message documentations)
