Your patch is deadly long, and 90% of it is just about changing the translation of 3 words (police, dépos and index). Really, my review would have been _much_ more efficient with a clean patch serie.

BTW, the requirement of splitting a patch to small and related changes is indeed not at all uncommon here.

Interesting. Still, this is all about Canadian-french, not France-french. According to http://atilf.atilf.fr/dendien/scripts/tlfiv5/visusel.exe?13;s=3509465295;r=1;nat=;sol=2 this is indeed both anglicism and "canadianism" ;-).

Well, anyway, that's just nitpick, your translation is at least good in the sense that everybody understands it.

No, and you're rigth. Sorry for the noise.
