Latin languages are pretty bad at that.  In Spanish, people sometimes
replace the “a” and “o” suffixes (which denote feminine and masculine)
with “@” or with “e”.

That would be another option, but it’s up to you translators to find the
most appropriate way to address the issue, IMO (and this could change
over time).

Thanks,
Ludo’.
