When i read it, i feel the person is *victim* of the bug "you experimented", i don't see it as "the system on which occured the bug" Only you can help me on that point; if it's "sur lequel sévit le bogue" you will have to change the original text then. > > s/d'émail/de mel/ or whatever this week's French word for "email" is. > I'm pretty sure I wrote "email" and not "enamel" :) > You enter in the big war against "anglicismes" ;) email is not the best solution, but better than "mel", this is like "cédérom" for "cdrom", in my opinion giving a french writing of english word is a silly. For example, CDROM is an acronym so we have two choices: keeping it or translating it, like OTAN for NATO. It should be the same for email. Some people use "courriel" which is far better than "mel" and it's in some way a translation of "email", however maybe "courrier électronique" is the best solution. > s/statut/état/ or s/vérifier son statut/suivre son progrès/ > "suivre son évolution" is maybe the best choice > s/ainsi le système/ainsi que le système/ and s/connaîtra/sache/ > If you add "que" you have to change "ainsi" for "afin", but once again there are many ways to tell the same thing. Thanks for the help. I will submit all typos and change on sunday.
