No "Official Language" either.

If spanish speaking population take over, we could make spanish the de facto language.

Or... if you are looking for a solution to the issue of pronouns, you can always use ahem Chinese!

Chinese is best language, he or she, its both "他" (pronounced tā). Pronoun crisis resolved! Culture war is peacefully concluded!

(Disclaimer: I have Chinese Ancestry, but I'm totally not biased... 😉)

Edit: Sorry for going kinda off topic, but like... think about it. No more pronoun conflicts! What a utopia!

Or you could use german where we have "it" (and actually use it)

Shame. I tried to say "Looks like American exceptionalism was always secretly Chinese"

Are there any good Chinese/English translation tools out there?

Ask some helpful people that work at the UN for a "free sample" of their translation skills.

Edit: Or I guess the US Ambassador to China's staff members have people that could help.

😉

Hard pass. China would kill me far sooner than help me. I'm far too much of a troublemaker for them.

Cheers m8 :)
