Community

In addition to the topic #translation > French translations in the main “#translation” stream, there is a dedicated stream #translation/fr for discussing the French translations. Please join there too and say hello.

Rules

  • Use of vous instead of tu,

  • A space before and after a colon and a semi-colon and a space after 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.
