| Yes, In Italian I say 'una struct' (where una is the feminine article) but

But that is translating something should be not be translated!
Please, note that the diagnostic message isn't saying

    structure '%s'

nor

   enumeration '%s'

The diagnostic message is referring to a *type-id*; and should stand as such.

But here 'struct T' isn't English: It is a type-name.
