> And what about "Username's Data" ? This is easy to translate
Regarding translation, "'s" is common only in English, if I'm not
mistaken? Other languages are more complicated than that - they have
genders.
As for Slavic languages, I guess they'll just ignore English perception
and translate it as 'Personal folder' or something like that (or in
worst case just 'Username'). Cause, if user is female it would be
'Ivankini podaci' (Ivanka) and if it's male, it would be 'Petrovi
podaci' (Petar) - no, even 'Data of ${username}' isn't unique for both
genders. In my language it's almost impossible to translate
"${username}'s" and we always look how to avoid it.
