Source code of Polish electoral voting system?

There is no way to avoid that in the polish language, as someone else pointed out already. Nouns and sometimes even verbs or adjectives have gender, and you need to use either the male form or female form according to the situation

Right, but a translation to English should not include "(female)" unless it's essential information, which it isn't here.
