I have translated into French, but not easily, with (I believe) same issue as Purodha. Help : warning = notification There are 2 kinds of notification/warning : - alerts - messages As alert and warning seems to be synonyms, we have to use synonyms like notification, information, announce... I hope it is useful.
But even if I have some ideas, I am not proud of my translation. So it would be nice if someone else could check French translation.
