Word For Word translation & better translation For French Language #709

Closed HeliazBroquet closed 3 years ago

HeliazBroquet commented 3 years ago

I fixed every word for word translation (otherwise it doesn't really mean anything) and did some minor tweaks to help Novices/Begginers Understand a bit better.

I'm a French native speaker and I disagree with this pull request

Largeur du graphe: "graphique" is a bit more appropriate, I agree, but if we have to be pedantic it's a "diagramme" ("diagramme en bâtons empilés").
Type d’affichage. That's debatable, but not worth the change, both are correct. Style is a better word for word translation but type is better in context
chiffres: the English should be changed to "digits" or "digital", but the French should be "Chiffres" or "Digital", certainly not "Chiffre"
tr/min, this is the correct abbreviation. Nothing to change here,

@kubrickfr If you're a native French speaker, than you more of an authority than most. I'm certainly not a native French speaker, nor do I have any real ability to review translations. We rely on user submissions and reviews like yours to make sure they make sense. And ultimately, you're the one who's going to be using the translation.

all right, then I'll go down the rabbit hole and review the whole translation, and propose a changeset that I deem consistent. But I will really appreciate reviews, language is usually more nuanced than right or wrong...
