## Rules

- Use of _vous_ instead of _tu_,
- A space before and after a colon and a semi-colon and a space after a dot and a comma,
- Follow english capitalization,
- Prefer the infinitive form of a verb: _Save_ into _Sauver_ (instead of _Sauvez_).

Some translations can be tricky, so please don't hesitate to ask the community or contribute to this guide.
