Ahh ok! I will

Nice! I'm will check that

>> They aren't rules, they're a synthesis of the intent behind my translations. I've shown you an actual example of perfect Spanish where the feminine (grammatical) gender can be applied to any (social) gender. As I bend a little the conventional rules in the default case, I can understand the "neo" as an misplaced joke, but I'd stay close to the facts and far from that kind of modifiers to keep the conversation on topic.

Actually I didn't try to make a joke, I tried to describe the 'new spanish rules' as that, because is not the 'conventional way' to text Spanish.

Just to be clear, I really appreciate your work and all that you have translated so far even if I consider the 'new way' to text Spanish is not correct, but its ok, Its more important have an Spanish version after all.

Then, I understand I should translate in the female (grammatical) spanish (as a rule) to keep the all the documentation with the same logic.

If in the future someone consider is better modify it to 'traditional spanish' they can update it I guess.

Regards!

You're welcome.

Right now, yes. If you want to help, that'd make it two. :-)

Well, actually https://translationproject.org is the real platform for the translation process, but we could define any workflow as needed, I think. We can agree about that privately or on the tp list (es@tp.org.es), if needed.

They aren't rules, they're a synthesis of the intent behind my translations. I've shown you an actual example of perfect Spanish where the feminine (grammatical) gender can be applied to any (social) gender. As I bend a little the conventional rules in the default case, I can understand the "neo" as an misplaced joke, but I'd stay close to the facts and far from that kind of modifiers to keep the conversation on topic.

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.

Any thought about gender neutrality in Spanish, everybody?

Best regards,
