    Reminds me of how automated translation services translate job names into strictly gendered languages. Wihout any context, engineer translates to the male variant and nurse to the female.

    Same with translating gender neutral pronouns into languages that don’t have them. “Their husband” will translate into “her husband” (assuming you give sufficient context that “their” is singular in this instance).

    It is an issue but there are no obvious solutions.
