This entry-point is called to render age range information into text, in a specified format, in the output language.

strRenderedAgeRangeText = FH_GetAgeRangeText(strFormat, iYear1, iYear2, bMale, strName)

strFormat

String.  The date format required.  Possible values are "SENTENCE", "ADVERB" or "ADJECTIVE" - see table below:

SENTENCE	Use the name supplied, if there is one, to create a sentence in the output language, giving the age range for the person.  If no name is supplied, use an appropriate pronoun instead.  e.g. "John was 45-49 years old" or "he was 45-49 years old".
ADVERB	Create an adverbial phrase like "aged 45-49"
ADJECTIVE	Create an adjectival phrase like "age 45-49"

iYear1

iYear2
