Hi,

I use Trac with the Django project, and I noticed that the German translations of terms like "owner", "reporter", and "Cc" use the male form exclusively. I would like to see more gender-inclusive terms here, and I already have some concrete suggestions in a patch for trac/locale/de/LC_MESSAGES/messages.po. Now, how do I best submit those?

In https://trac.edgewall.org/wiki/NewTicket, I read "If you're not the administrator of the Trac site, please don't create a ticket here but rather inform your Trac administrator about the problem (only the administrator can deploy the fix anyway)." On the other hand, the Transifex link on https://trac.edgewall.org/wiki/HowToContribute gives me a 404. 

Thank you for your help,
Annabelle

After talking to the Trac administrators of the Django project, I created a ticket anyway: https://trac.edgewall.org/ticket/13916
