Hello,

Miguel <rosen644835@gmail.com> skribis:

> As I said, they aren't rules, only the reason why I did that. I think that it's up to the community to make a decision, not me. Currently, the community decision is to use gender neutral language, but it'd be a nonsense make a decision about a language you don't speak, so this interpretation is at the end up to each language speakers community.

Latin languages are pretty bad at that.  In Spanish, people sometimes
replace the “a” and “o” suffixes (which denote feminine and masculine)
with “@” or with “e”.

That would be another option, but it’s up to you translators to find the
most appropriate way to address the issue, IMO (and this could change
over time).

Thanks,
Ludo’.
