Apparently, {{GENDER:|}} (without a specified parameter) does not work in PHP (??) so I made sure we add the current username to the messages for gender purposes.

We'll need to re-translate using the $3 parameter for gender for this to work once it's deployed.

Thank you for fixing it

Checked in betalabs.
With the setting " (When mentioning you, the software will use gender neutral words whenever possible)"

Note:

it's actually not easy to find a language which distinguish between feminine and masculine forms for formal (singular and plural) second person pronouns.
however, the phrasing of the messages might include those pronouns in different forms (not necessary nominative) which makes it's good to have them with gender specific option.

Verified in Hebrew -- these two messages look correct. The first is "neutral" and the second is female-form, as was in the setting.
