Sein -> Ihr, or change the linking

Seems to be correctly linked to French and Spanish. There is no direct link to English.

You mean unlinking from the hungarian, lnoue? The French and Spanish can both mean "Sein" and "Ihr".

Ah, I see. Then the mistake is somewhere in the indirect linking chain.
English and Japanese (at least) are female while German is male form.

Does somebody know where to break/change the link to have a correct translation for these cases?

There is no mistake. The French and Spanish are ambiguous.

Inoue, one has to live with the fact that indirect translations aren't always correct.
(For example: "You are beautiful->Sie sind schön->Elles sont belles" is a correct linking chain though English and French don't match).
