French translation style guide

Community

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

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.

Terms

Please refer to the Weblate glossary for recommended translations. If some important word is missing from the glossary, please ask in #translation/fr.
