Details

That part of the file confuses me :
+ id: LANG_CODEPAGE_WESTERN_EUROPEAN
+ desc: in codepage setting menu
user: core
<source>
- *: "Restart Sleep Timer On Keypress"
+ *: "Western European (CP1252)"
</source>
<dest>
- *: "Redémarrer la minuterie d'arrêt sur pression d'une touche"
+ *: "Western European (CP1252)"

I assume the lines below are irrelevant but did not dare removing them
- *: "Restart Sleep Timer On Keypress"
- *: "Redémarrer la minuterie d'arrêt sur pression d'une touche"

As for the rest, I did my best : french is my native language but not "technical french"... I actually use rockbox in english...

I guess summary should be "french translation patch". I missed that and cannot edit sorry.

I checked how the french menu is displayed on my Sansa Clip and made some changes that are more consistent.

For instance I replaced "dossier" by "répertoire". Both words mean the same in IT. I prefer "dossier" since it's shorter but "répertoire" is used already used instead so...

For the same reason I replaced "mise en veille" by "minuterie d'arrêt". "veille"="standby vs "arrêt"=shutdown. "Mise en veille" sounds better but "minuterie d'arrêt" is more accurate and more consistent.

I guess translating very specific technical termes like "Simple (Meier)" or "Western European (CPblah blah)" makes no sense in french (France). I guess it might in french (Canada) though

I committed one portion of that patch but the last hunk did not apply with patch
