Summary: Implement gendered Chinese pronouns, for that personal
touch

Preferences has a gender chooser.
One assumes Chinese is a gender neutral language.
However written Chinese has ta1:1.它 2.他 3.她 4.牠 5.祂 depending on if
you are talking about it, him, her, it[animal], [god], and
ni3: 1.你 2.妳 you [male], you [female].
Therefore Chinese could also take advantage of the Preferences gender
item. The perfect thing to give one's wiki the personal touch! Banks,
credit card companies often use these forms when writing to their
customers, if they know their gender.
Examples:
妳必須重新登錄... [Message to a female user.] You[female] must login
again;
妳可以寫電子郵件給她 You[female] can send email to _her_.
Let's see, the strings affected are /你/, /他/, but not /您/.
If the user is gender-unknown, then use the default (male) forms, 他，你.
