Thanks Christian for your suggestion, very interesting and as you mention,
I didn't realize how it works for other languages. I will take it into
account ;)
Also thanks for french localization.
Regarding suggestion from Wilfried about comments for some non obvious
strings, I will make some tests because localized strings are normally
directly displayed to users and I am not sure how comments would impact
here, but if it helps someone definitely is a good idea.
Best regards,
David
