So, in a word, you're not complaining about the tool itself, you're complaining about how a tool is named. I invite you to raise your concerns with the developers and to propose a better French translation at translatewiki.net. Any other wikilawyering or claim of assuming bad faith is completely unnecessary and unhelpful. -- Guillaume Paumier [[m:User:guillom]] http://www.gpaumier.org _______________________________________________ foundation-l mailing list [email protected] Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-l
