1573227 - Various UI text and code comments assume male gender

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(bugzilla.mozilla.org :: General, defect)

Description

[Will Hawkins]

In an installation of bugzilla where the password cannot be set for a new user when added by the administrator, the following text appears near where the field for the input would be:

"The new user will choose his password himself by clicking the "Forgot Password" link. "

This should use gender-neutral pronouns. I saw that work was done on pronouns in bug 947823 but this string was probably added after that.

Thanks!
Will

Agreed. I’ll search and replace all the his/him occurrences.

Thanks :-) Just noticed this on an installation for GCC. I love how you are so attentive to these type of issues!

"The new user will choose his password himself by clicking the "Forgot Password" link. "

Looks like this paragraph doesn’t exist in the current Bugzilla master = BMO, but I’ll intensively use gender-neutral pronouns both in the UI and code.

And we (coincidentally) shipped the change just in time for International Pronouns Day! https://twitter.com/BugzillaUX/status/1184580769655787526
