Where do i go to complain about the lack of audio?

Why is "he" always given as an alternate translation for yeye when you use she in a sentance, but not the otherway round? Why is the default "he"?


https://www.duolingo.com/profile/machieng

the translation is typed in as '[He/She] is Chinese'. The app will show the first thing typed in as the default answer

It appears to accept"He is from Holland" with the same sentence structure "Yeye ni Mholanzi", but insists on "He is Chinese" for this one. Is there a difference?
