TWLight goes out of its way to avoid using pronouns, so the English version is compatible with all editor genders. However, some languages (e.g. French) have innately gendered words that we cannot avoid applying to users (e.g. in translating "User" or "Editor"). TWLight should have a policy on how gender is to be handled and should apprise translators accordingly.

This is a policy question, not a tech question, and therefore shouldn't be assigned to me. Reassigning to @Ocaasi_WMF .

Use non-gendered language where possible. If not possible, use neutral gender terms as available. If not possible, use both forms separated by a slash (latina/latino).
