Update French localization

[surfdude29]

Following on from #4823, this PR adds translations for new strings, removes obsolete strings and makes a few tweaks.

I'd be grateful if you could take a look @Signez 🙏

[Signez]

Great translation work, again! A little bit more to say this time though. It can be summarised as:

• auteur·ice should be used instead of aut·eur·ice ;
• envoyer should be used instead of télécharger (when it is used as a translation of upload);
• some other more specific stuff.

Thanks again!

[surfdude29]

Thanks so much again for all your corrections (and explanations) @Signez! :)

Sorry there were so many this time!

Just to double-check something: is Rétablir le son here the best translation for Unmute, or would Activer le son (like in L6108) work better? And similar question for the Unmuted string?

social-app/src/locale/locales/fr/messages.po

Lines 6106 to 6108 in 90682d4

	#: src/view/com/util/post-embeds/VideoEmbedInner/VideoEmbedInnerNative.tsx:169
	msgid "Tap to toggle sound"
	msgstr "Taper pour activer ou désactiver le son"

social-app/src/locale/locales/fr/messages.po

Lines 6750 to 6756 in 90682d4

	msgstr "Rétablir le son de la vidéo"
	#: src/view/com/util/post-embeds/VideoEmbedInner/VideoEmbedInnerNative.tsx:168
	msgid "Unmuted"
	msgstr "Rétabli"

Also, I realise that I had already translated Muted – in the context of the sound in a video – as Masqué already, which seems like maybe not the clearest translation... should that be changed to something like Son désactivé?

Both are fine actually. Rétablir is more like get it back on, which is great for unmute, so it makes sense to use it like you did.

It was not my choice in the toggle case but honestly it could: désactiver ou rétablir le son is better than activer ou désactiver le son (but please note that I changed the order of the two, like you would in English: enable or disable the sound vs. unmute or get the sound back on somehow?).

Also, I realise that I had already translated Muted – in the context of the sound in a video – as Masqué already, which seems like maybe not the clearest translation... should that be changed to something like Son désactivé?

Good catch: sound can't be masqué, as it is specifically used for hiding visually. We don't really have an equivalent word in French (well, I don't have one readily) so Son désactivé is better, or Son mis en sourdine — but I am not a fan of the sourdine usage for anything else than sound so be careful. (if you remember, I made the active choice of not using Sourdine for muted accounts as it doesn't have a corresponding verb — you can't sourdiner something, you have to use mettre en sourdine which is clunky.)

Sorry there were so many this time!

Again, please don't ever be sorry for the amount of comments I had to make: it's always a pleasure for me to write them and it's fun to have to make explicit comments on my mother tongue 😅

This one is fascinating, because I thought télécharger meant download, although I should have looked to see if upload has already been translated in another string (it probably has been, sorry).

Sorry if I wasn't clear, but télécharger DO mean download! It's the main usage of that word.

It's the fact that it is sometimes overloaded with the upload meaning that is ambiguous — to be more precise, sometimes UI translators use the fact that technically an upload is a download looked from the server point of view to write télécharger where honestly we should use a simple envoyer, or téléver… NO WE SHOULD NOT USE THAT WEIRD WORD WE WON'T)

Thanks, that's all very helpful! :)

I've changed the strings to reflect it like so:

social-app/src/locale/locales/fr/messages.po

Lines 3644 to 3646 in 2650d68

	#: src/view/com/util/post-embeds/VideoEmbedInner/VideoEmbedInnerNative.tsx:168
	msgid "Muted"
	msgstr "Son désactivé"

social-app/src/locale/locales/fr/messages.po

Lines 6106 to 6108 in 2650d68

	#: src/view/com/util/post-embeds/VideoEmbedInner/VideoEmbedInnerNative.tsx:169
	msgid "Tap to toggle sound"
	msgstr "Taper pour désactiver ou rétablir le son"

social-app/src/locale/locales/fr/messages.po

Lines 6750 to 6756 in 2650d68

	#: src/view/com/util/post-embeds/VideoEmbedInner/VideoWebControls.tsx:273
	msgid "Unmute video"
	msgstr "Rétablir le son de la vidéo"
	#: src/view/com/util/post-embeds/VideoEmbedInner/VideoEmbedInnerNative.tsx:168
	msgid "Unmuted"
	msgstr "Son rétabli"

Also, as a sidenote, I opened #5234 to ask that the labels for the Mute string be changed so that translators can distinguish between the uses in different contexts (muting a tag vs. muting a video):

social-app/src/locale/locales/fr/messages.po

Lines 3571 to 3574 in 2650d68

	#: src/components/TagMenu/index.tsx:263
	#: src/view/com/util/post-embeds/VideoEmbedInner/VideoWebControls.tsx:345
	msgid "Mute"
	msgstr "Masquer"

Sorry there were so many this time!

I really appreciate all the comments, I was just a bit annoyed with myself for making so many silly mistakes 😅 Next time I think I'll give it a day or two and look at the translations again with fresh eyes before submitting the PR.

This one is fascinating, because I thought télécharger meant download, although I should have looked to see if upload has already been translated in another string (it probably has been, sorry).

Sorry if I wasn't clear, but télécharger DO mean download! It's the main usage of that word.

You were clear, I just didn't phrase my reply very clearly. What I was meaning to say was more like: "This one is fascinating, because I knew that télécharger meant download..." I never doubted that it meant download, I was just a bit surprised and confused that DeepL was insisting that it should also be used for upload.

...to be more precise, sometimes UI translators use the fact that technically an upload is a download looked from the server point of view to write télécharger...

I have to admit I never would have guessed at this logic 😆

[Signez]

Great! Then I think that beside #5234, everything looks good to me. Thanks again for the amazing work 👍

[surfdude29]

Excellent 👌 Thanks again for your review comments! 🙏

[surfdude29]

I've updated the strings after #5234 and #5240 were merged.

[Signez]

Perfect, LGTM then 👍

[surfdude29]

Merge and update string to reflect 50MB max file size following #5245.

[surfdude29]

I've added a translation for the new string that was added in #5273.

[Signez]

Is there anything I can do to help you or the Bluesky team merging this one? I have to admit I would really like my French-speaking friends to enjoy the great work you we did in this PR, but I don't who (and if) I should ping to merge it.

[surfdude29]

Paul usually merges the localization update PRs right before he cuts a release. I don't know when they're planning the next release, but I imagine it won't be all that long to wait as I'm guessing there are quite a few bugfixes and improvements to video (along with other changes) that they want to get into users' hands.

You could ping him to ask him to merge it now, but even if it does get merged before a release your friend would only be able to use the updated translations on the web on the dev server (main.bsky.dev) and not on the iOS/Android app.

[Signez]

Oh, right. There is no hurry to be honest (and I forgot an plural mark at "friends" in my previous comment, it was more of a general thought), it can clearly wait for a week or two. And I am sure Paul have other stuff to worry about these days 😅

[surfdude29]

Yeah hopefully it won't be too long to wait 🤞🦋

[surfdude29]

I added the new usages of Follow Back and I translated the new string Similar accounts as Comptes similaires.

[Signez]

🎉

[surfdude29]

All suggestions applied, thanks again! :)

[surfdude29]

I made a few updates following #5340 and #5343, hopefully pretty straightforward.

[Signez]

LGTM 👍

Thanks everyone!
