A question to people whose native language is not English: how does your language deal with nonbinary people that use they/them in English? How did it work in OFMD?
Asking because in Polish there's absolutely no pronoun that can be used, as "they/them" is exclusively plural and either male ("oni") or female ("one") anyway. Polish, like most Slavic languages, is very gendered, to the point where there is barely any way to express something in a gender neutral way, as only the present tense and in some cases the future tense can be used that way.
For example if I'd want to say that "Jim was great in that episode" there is no gender neutral way to say that. I can say either that Jim was "świetny" (male) or "świetna" (female).
The only way that is gender neural is rodzaj nijaki (neuter), but it is a grammatical gender used to describe objects and non-humans, like "krzesło" (chair) or "zwierzę" (an animal). The only exclusion here is "dziecko" (a child). For obvious reasons it is not a preferred way to refer to nonbinary people and characters.
However, that leaves us with no way to address them or refer to them correctly, and the Polish nb community does not use any common pronoun as well - some people use the grammatical gender that matches their assigned at birth one, some switch between using female and male, some use neuter one or invent a neopronoun for themselves, like "onx" (sorry, no translation here, but works similarily to latinx). However, here is no set rule for media and fictional characters, because it is pretty much a personal thing.
Did any of you have any info on how did the translations into such languages deal with Jim's pronouns? Does your language have a better way of dealing with they/them characters?
I'm super curious about that :)
