Rules

• Use of vous instead of tu;

• A non-breaking space before a colon and a semi-colon;

• A space after a colon, a semi-colon, a dot and a comma;

• Follow English capitalization;

• Prefer the infinitive form of a verb: Save into Sauver (instead of Sauvez).

Some translations can be tricky, so please don’t hesitate to ask the community or contribute to this guide.
