--- Comment #13 from Jared Zimmerman (WMF) <jared.zimmer...@wikimedia.org> ---
If you take a look at
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gender-specific_and_gender-neutral_pronouns there
are many languages that seem to have the concept of a gender neautral pronoun,
not all of course but many. 

While some would argue that "they" is not grammatically correct it is becoming
so for people who need a singular gender neutral pronoun.

Swedish wikipedia should have no issues
