statement translation from English to Spanish

Question

does this translation is accurate from English to Spanish or need some editing:

In English: ( Without language, one cannot hope to talk to people and understand them; one cannot share their hopes and aspirations, grasp their history, appreciate their history or savour their songs. -Nelson Mandela, 1995 )

In Spanish ( no se puede esperar a hablar con la gente y entenderlos, no se puede compartir sus esperanzas y aspiraciones, comprender su historia, apreciar su historia o disfrutar de sus canciones. Mandela, Nelson, )

Answer 1

In Spanish ( No se puede esperar a hablar con la gente y entenderla, no se puede compartir sus esperanzas y aspiraciones, comprender su historia, apreciar su historia o disfrutar de sus canciones. Mandela, Nelson,

If you are talking about "la gente", it is feminine singular, so it is better to keep the reference as it is.
