Looks good to me! Nice work! But a double check by Vassili would be nice if he has time. Better to have the translator and rereader be a different person face-smile.png

Vassili has sent me some corrections, which I have added in Transifex. Merci face-smile.png

One question: Etendez-vous or Étendez-vous? Does French still have that convention that accents get dropped above capital letters?

We always put the accents, if not, it's not the same sound, the same world.. an accent is not an option, he often make a different letter.

So we never had a rule who said to not put the accents.

Here one (french speaking) webpage who wildly speak about that: https://www.druide.com/enquetes/faut-il-accentuer-les-majuscules-et-les-capitales

That webpage gives me a 404, but I found that one:

J’ai pourtant appris à l’école qu’il ne fallait pas accentuer les majuscules.

Plusieurs personnes ont effectivement appris ou entendu dire qu’il ne fallait pas accentuer les majuscules ou les capitales. Il est vrai qu’en écriture manuscrite cursive on accentue rarement les majuscules. Il faut aussi reconnaître que l’accentuation des capitales est loin d’avoir été pratiquée systématiquement par tous les typographes de toutes les époques. Des contraintes techniques pouvaient rendre la chose difficile, mais les typographes consciencieux ont habituellement accentué les capitales. Leur accentuation était aussi chose malaisée à la machine à écrire, mais les dactylographes ingénieux trouvaient le moyen de le faire.

Aujourd’hui, les systèmes informatiques bien configurés permettent d’utiliser sans problème les capitales accentuées. Il n’y a donc plus de raison de se priver de cette pratique recommandée par les bons dictionnaires, grammaires et codes typographiques, ainsi que par l’Académie française.

http://www.neoscript.fr/astuces-de-la-langue-francaise/96-faut-il-accentuer-les-majuscules-et-les-capitales-.html

So boo to my French teacher for marking accented majuscules in red! Looks so much better with accents.
