What's inside the report

A two-page brief for organisations that want their communication and translations to include everyone they address. It starts from the idea that language is never neutral and shows how to turn that into practical guidelines, adapted content and inclusive translations across markets.

  1. Why it matters

    Brand image, a sense of belonging, accessibility, better client communication and a wider audience, in search too.

  2. Not sure where to start?

    Consultancy to identify your needs and measure the impact on engagement and brand perception.

  3. Creating guidelines

    A reference document that translators and communication teams can consult at any time.

  4. Cultural differences

    Why gender-neutral strategies vary between languages and regions, and how guidelines can scale to new markets.

  5. Step-by-step workflow

    From the first call to guidelines, adapted source content, translation and client feedback.

  6. Inclusive translation and revision

    Translation into other languages and same-language revision, both following your guidelines.

Who it's for

Communication, HR, marketing and brand managers, and the translation coordinators who need every language to follow the same inclusive approach.

It is most useful when you are writing or updating a style guide, expanding into new markets or reviewing existing content for inclusivity.

Good to know

  • Inclusive choices differ between languages: a solution that works in English may not exist, or may read differently, in a gendered language such as Italian or German.
  • Guidelines work best when they give approved alternatives, not only rules, so writers and translators can apply them quickly.
  • Search keywords still matter: inclusive wording should be checked against the terms your audience actually searches for.
  • Translators need the same guidelines as your writers, or inclusive source texts can lose their inclusivity in translation.

Frequently asked questions

What is inclusive language?

Wording that addresses and represents people fairly, regardless of gender, age, disability, origin or other characteristics. In practice it means choosing words consciously and avoiding expressions that exclude or stereotype.

Why do inclusive language guidelines differ by language?

Languages handle gender and forms of address differently. English often has neutral options, while Italian, German or Spanish mark gender in nouns, adjectives and articles, so each language needs its own approved solutions.

Can inclusive language be applied in translation?

Yes, if translators have clear guidelines for each target language. Without them, an inclusive source text can easily become non-inclusive in translation, because the translator has to choose a gendered form.

Does inclusive language affect SEO?

It can. Some inclusive forms are searched less often than traditional ones, so guidelines should balance inclusivity with the terms your audience uses in search, especially in titles and headings.
