Use Gender Pronouns on LinkedIn

The technical details of how this is implemented are perhaps interesting for some people.

It depends on the language, obviously. It seems that currently a pronoun field is only visible when the interface language is set to English or Swedish. Since there's a "custom" option, which can not be automatically translated between English and Swedish, I would guess that the "English pronoun" and "Swedish pronoun" are separate fields in the underlying database, so someone could choose a masculine pronoun in English and a feminine pronoun in Swedish, for example.

Although the pronoun field is basically a way of specifying gender, as far as I can tell there is no gender field in the languages which do not have a pronoun field.

Also, rigardless of how you set your interface language, the pronoun field seems to be visible only to people living in certain countries.
