+### Inclusive language
+
+[Diversity] is one of GitLab's values.
+We ask you to avoid translations which exclude people based on their gender or ethnicity.
+In languages which distinguish between a male and female form,
+use both or choose a neutral formulation.
+
+For example in German, the word "user" can be translated into "Benutzer" (male) or "Benutzerin" (female).
+Therefore "create a new user" would translate into "Einen neuen Benutzer/eine neue Benutzerin anlegen".
