Azerty

I found a new Firefox theme, Azerty. It’s been climbing the ranks like mad at u.m.o and I decided to download it. I visited the author’s site and found that it was all in French, which was no problem for me, but the only translation available was via Google Translate.

A note near the bottom said

I thank all the encouraging remarks from Mozilla.org.
If a bilingual person could translate the nuances of the
French language of this site I will be grateful.

So I sat down, and about 30 minutes later, had a (fairly) decent transliteration of the web page :)

I had trouble when I came to “navigation par onglets”; it was the only word I hadn’t heard before. So I popped onto #ubuntu-fr IRC and asked, in French, if someone could explain to me what onglets were. In French, they replied “Onglets are why Firefox is great and Internet Explorer sucks… you don’t use windows to surf.” Ah ha, tabs! :P
