@FelixDz I think you did the French translation. What do you think about it ?

Thanks for the input! As you correctly pointed, changing the string to "Toi" would break other places. This is related to #457 and the way sentences should ideally be translated.
From what I felt when I started the French translation, Splitpro's "branding" is both professional and playful / user-friendly /casual. I chose to go the less formal way with the translation to be appealing, which also reflects the tone in the original english formulation more, in my opinion.
Switching to "Vous" implies changing that as many sentence translations rely on this. I'm okay with that if you think it best – and I can make the translations – but this is also likely going to break some minor other parts of the translation, and to be honest I'd preferably change the phrasing based on what the app should convey rather than technical reasons.
Maybe we can wait to get some news from @marcosinigaglia and his work on the PR?
