Amir, I think this is a question
Arthur, thank you so much for this reply!
The Hebrew translation of the survey is practically complete. It would
take us just a few minutes to create a version for women, who will,
without doubt, appreciate it. (There are women among the translators,
too.) If there's a chance that it will be used,
Hoi,
I have asked women from different communities about this, I have asked men
from different communities about this. For some languages the compromise is
not one of selecting either but using unnatural language. For some languages
women indicate that not being addressed properly makes them less i

For the curious, documentation on 'conditional' questions in LimeSurvey
can be found here:

I guess that if it's really impossible, we'll think about something,
but i'm just curious: What are the technical reasons? Does LimeSurvey
have a limited list of languages? Isn't it open source? Can't anyone

Hi Amir,
I understand your concern. As a woman, I would not be happy to answer
questions that are addressed to a man. But it is near impossible to have
two versions of the survey in Hebrew due to technical reasons. Is it
possible to rewrite questions with options for both gender? For example,

What i say here about Hebrew may be useful for many other languages, too.
I am translating the Editors survey into Hebrew. The survey is written
as a long series of questions in the second person ("you"). In Hebrew
the second person is very gender-dependent - the wording is
significantly different
