pancakes:pronouns

Extends as:Person

{
    "de": "sie/ihr",
    "en": "she/her"
}

Implementation Details

Implementations MUST:

• Include the pancakes:pronouns as a property of as:Person if they are configured by the user
• Ensure that the provided values are plain-text, similarly to as:name or as:nameMap

Implementations MUST NOT:

• Display the contents of an as:Person's pancakes:pronouns as anything other than plain-text, but can apply their own styling such as italics

Implementations SHOULD:

• Display all provided pancakes:pronouns rather than a single value

Implementations SHOULD NOT:

• Limit the format for pronouns that users can provide, including:
  • The number of pronoun groups, as some users may have multiple preferences
  • The number of pronouns per group, e.g. she/her v.s. she/her/her/hers/herself, as this varies by language and personal preference
  • The separators used between pronouns and pronoun groups

Implementations MAY:

• Highlight a provided value from pancakes:pronouns that matches the user's profile language as long as other languages aren't hidden
