Adding a new variant to the French translation

MediaWiki localisation is gender neutral. The degree to which a language can or needs to be bent in order to be gender neutral varies, but I'm sure French offers sufficient "neutralisation" devices for you to reach the goal here. The best way is not always the most "shockingly gender neutral", sometimes you need a bit of creativity: needs some hard work and discussion among translators, there are no shortcuts.

I already tried… in translations I used lesser neutral translations to make them “lesser shocking” than the language I usually use, but they still are refused by the three other translators I discussed with.

Best talk about this on a talk page like Portal_talk:Fr based on goals and examples, and only make change after reaching consensus now that you know this...

P.s. Thanks for the tweet. It made me discover this thread.

As I said earlier, I already asked there, and have been told to ask here…
