For example in German, the word "user" can be translated into "Benutzer" (male) or "Benutzerin" (female).
Therefore "create a new user" would translate into "Benutzer(in) anlegen".
For example, in German, the word _user_ can be translated into _Benutzer_ (male) or _Benutzerin_

In French, the "écriture inclusive" is now over (see on [Legifrance](https://www.legifrance.gouv.fr/jorf/id/JORFTEXT000036068906/)).
So, to include both genders, write "Utilisateurs et utilisatrices" instead of "Utilisateur·rice·s".
When space is missing, the male gender should be used alone.
