(no subject)

[This is written in a fairly neat handwriting, in a language that may look roughly similar to Arabic to those familiar with it. The paper on the bulletin board has a small note on top, with a lot of space on the rest of the page for people to fill in as needed.]

Since we're all from different worlds and cultures I think there are a few things we should probably get sorted out as a group. First thing should probably be how to address each other. Go ahead and write your name/title/what you want to be called, your gender identifier if that's important to you, and pronouns to use for you.

[huh. interesting.]

Seems like the way the library translates for us makes some things like this a little different too. Good to know.

Your language has more of a focus on your personal pronouns? The ones I know primarily focus on the ones you use in reference to other people which is why I asked.

Yes. From what I know about other languages like English, Japanese usually doesn't use the subject when it's obvious what the subject is.

I think that's how it works, at least.

[bashasasdemon]

I see. The translation must just add it in for those of us that expect it, or take it out for the people who don't.

Something to keep in mind if there's some difficulty communicating I guess.

Probably. Whatever technology is making it work is good enough to fill in context.
