In some languages, such as Arabic or Hebrew, there is a distinction between male and female. Accordingly, it is custom to right guides in the male form ( for historical reasons) and add a notice that says "although this guide is written in the male form, it is directed at both sexes. I filed this as bug 47504 under ubuntu-docs, but got the following reply: <pre dir="ltr" wrap="">Questions of localisation don't concern us - the relevant translation team can adjust the language and style of the document to suit the particular culture. However, we do need as a team to decide on the convention for doing this in _English_. There was a mailing list thread about this some time ago, and nothing was decided. What does the team feel is the best convention to adopt for gender? When this is decided, we can update the styleguide. Matt</pre> So I refer this question to you - Is it possible to include the above notice as an option for translation in the guides for languages that require so? Thanks, Yaniv Abir <pre dir="ltr" wrap=""> </pre> </body> </html>
