Thank you for your attention, I'm not at all surprised that it gave such a result.
When I was translating, I asked myself the same questions about all
these subtleties and I tried to solve them as I went along (while
Poedit told me that there were no errors in the translation :-)

It's very nice of you, I'd like you to take care of it if you can. Tomorrow morning, I will study carefully what you will have done.
Really, thank you Julien!

I also read your answers on git clone, I'll take good note of them too
;)

Well, I'm going to go rest a little bit!

Thanks to you!

Kind regards
