Re: [PATCH] Update french translation

[Alexandre Bourget <alexandre.bourget@savoirfairelinux.com>]

Hi Matthieu and list,

I've retouched the French translation update for git-gui.. I'll send it
right after this mail.

I've fixed some more "out-of-context" translations, and considered some
of the comments from Matthieu Moy.

A second patch will follow which will updated all lacking translations
as of today. This makes the French translation 100% covered and
reviewed.

This is funny requirement, especially when I see what you've let in as a
"french" translation :) I doubt

In fact, there are many meanings to that word. "Centre de support"
doesn't mean a place to endure stuff :)

http://www.granddictionnaire.com reveals us that "supporter" is a
computer-related term that means just what we need here, and it's been
reviewed by the "Office de la langue française" in 2002.

Have you looked at the context ?

To tell you the truth, I hadn't either, but I just did and fixed it in
the second patch I send. It was used in a tooltip to show the last date
a branch was updated, so it's now "Mise-à-jour:".


There you go, I've fixed most of the things you've outlines.

Hope this helps
