Thank you so much for the kind words, Alain! We did our best to submit a good side project, and we're so happy that it is appreciated and liked. And it would be such a great pleasure to see this idea used in a school context, knowing it could help teachers explain consent and respect to kids and teenagers.

Thank you so much for the kind comment! If you'd like to let us know what your partner thinks about the translation, we would love to receive feedback from them! We went with what seemed to be the best solutions to apply in a school context, but we wanted to ask a professional in the field to evaluate our work. Not to mention that we think we should review it one last time to improve it. After all, we finished it in a weekend as a side project, so I'm sure there's room for improvement :)
Thanks for your explanation! I had no idea that "quelqu'une" did not exist! I should go back to my books! Yes, I am aware that those are neo pronouns (which is also why I appreciated your choice!). I am living in France now and what I found surprising was hearing these also in speeches, when creating a game with other people for a Jam. Impressive! We also do have some linguistic solutions for our gendered words, but those are not widely accepted, or there are still discussions about which one to use (we have the asterisk, the ə (schwa) and the ù, since it is never used as termination in Italian language).
The topic is more and more discussed, I am positive we'll get somewhere in the next years :)

Congrats for keeping the text inclusive, coming from a romance language we know how hard it can be! Just a question - I don't master French that much, so I was wondering if it's similar to Italian or not - is "quelqu'un" considered neutral for you? We realized we couldn't use anything such as anyone/everybody/no one/everyone as they're all gendered for us. Good thing you have pronouns such as iel or elleui, in Italian this is still way behind, even though something is changing :) Good job!
Make sure to try the side project as well, created to offer kids and teachers the same tools of Ruolacomando (Script Change Replay)
