As suggested by @maelle (#2333 (comment)), I tried to neutralize the gender forms in the translations

I suppose this is a matter of taste, but I dislike the changes. These include some subtle meaning change in my opinion: doing something vs be something. For instance the case of Authors: author as someone how has created a work and someone who presumably has created it.

Maybe "autoria de", "edició de"... could be a middle ground to keep meaning and be gender neutral

On the linked suggestion the most "voted" answer suggested to keep it as is (not merge the PR).
Other suggested other approaches. I like the suggestion at #2382 (comment) even if it is longer but I cannot modify the PR (Not sure if I can).

I could review the PR and suggest edits in line with the comment. Then I think you or any other with repository rights approve them and merge this.

I couldn't make the suggestions to be accepted automatically by you @hadley. I wrote the old form -> new form.

Hi! How the proposals differ from the PR, @llrs ? I see some cases which are the same. Perhaps you can make PR to https://github.com/jmaspons/pkgdown/tree/gender_neutral_catalan to make it easier to understand the changes?

llrs commented Mar 18, 2024

I think it would be helpful for @hadley to know which consensus we reached in Catalan before opening a new PR. As you are the one that requested my review and further feedback from the community of Catalan translators feel free to decide what to do.

Ah ok, now I understand your proposal, @llrs. I like it for cases where the strings are the section title of the right column of the main page, such as Desevolupament de (see https://pkgdown.r-lib.org/). For other cases, it doesn't work because the strings are attributes of the authors. In this case, autoria de is wrong.

If there is no consensus, we can leave the translation as is.

Sounds like we should leave it as is, so I'm closing the PR. Please let me know if I've misunderstood!
