About how many messages are we talking about here? It seems like I'm
one of these guys where the changes may not be that complicated to
translate based on how I'm dealing with the backend area on a daily
basis while being a native French speaker. I am not much into the
latest evolutions of French in the last 10 years or so and I am seeing
a lot of English-ism these days, but the past messages should give a
reference good enough to provide consistent translations for the new
ones.
