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

Hoi, When we are to support genders or other personal aspect that can be reflected in the user interface, we can ask everyone for this

Dependent on the answer people will be treated as per the provided information in those languages where gender makes a difference.
Until the user preferences allow you to enter this information, it does
not
make sense to change the Internationalisation and the Localisation of the many languages that are supported in Betawiki.
Obviously not. First the feature would need to be implemented, including the user preference. This would probably include at least one language being converted to use the system (maybe partially) as a test case. Then the feature would be rolled out and translators would be advised to implement it for their language if appropriate.
In the mean time there are many other issues that deal with Internationalisation that need to be solved. These include issues with RtL support, anyway it is a long list
in
Bugzilla.
Are you suggesting that these other issues should be higher-priority than genders? If so, why?
