Hoi,
As long as the user preferences do not allow people to enter their gender in
order to have improve the Internationalisation and the following
Localisation, the other things that do not have a prerequisite have priority
for the people who Internationalise or Localise. Once this prerequisite is
met it will have to compete with the other things that need doing. It takes
developers to make this happen.
I do welcome any and all developers to make this and the other
Internationalisation issues disappear. But do appreciate that once new
features are programmed, it still takes people to create the localisation
that makes use of it. For the people who localise, the development, the
Internationalisation is a prerequisite.
Thanks,
GerardM
