l10n: French translation update & improvements

[elnyet]

Purpose of this PR:

Made this PR to update the current french translation, as it's missing a lot of text (mainly from the WiiCompiled update I think)

How to Test:

I need one of the original translators or a french speaking person to proof read the new strings and my corrections as I did them all in one go, please let me know if I need to explain some of the changes I made

What Has Been Changed:

Fixed a certain amount of spelling mistakes, translation errors and minor errors that were made in the current translation, and I added every string from en.yml that was missing in this file and I translated them, made it so both en.yml and this file have the same amount of lines and are translated using the same method so that future translations/updates hopefully become easier

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The French localization was corrected across existing labels and expanded with messages for patch workflows, WiiCompiled, Dolphin validation, conversion, warnings, errors, statuses, and related dialogs. The translator list now includes lenyet.

Changes

French localization

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Labels and actions WheelWizard/Resources/Languages/fr.yml	Page labels, Mii fields, statistics, statuses, offline actions, patch conversion actions, and WiiCompiled actions were corrected or added.
Workflow and validation messages WheelWizard/Resources/Languages/fr.yml	Popup, progress, Dolphin validation, conversion, archive export, warning, and error messages were expanded and revised.
WiiCompiled strings and translator attribution WheelWizard/Resources/Languages/fr.yml	WiiCompiled sections, helper text, categories, linkage statuses, data-folder states, configuration guidance, and translator attribution were updated.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Suggested reviewers: dirkdoes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 41fbd

French users would still encounter missing translations, inconsistent or incorrect wording, and visible formatting defects across controls and workflow messages. The localization should receive the requested corrections and French proofreading before merge.

_{A rabbit checks each French phrase,
And hops through menus, bright with praise.
WiiCompiled paths now clearly show,
While warnings speak in words that flow.
New translator credits join the tune,
With polished strings beneath the moon.}

- Line 97: Proofread and correct the French localization entries in
WheelWizard/Resources/Languages/fr.yml: line 97 “Aucun serveur”; line 200
“salles actives”; line 209 “joué”; line 303 “utiliser”; lines 374-375 and 534
“exécutable”; lines 391-392 use “nous connecter” and add “pas” to the title;
line 472 “sauvegarder”; line 476 “ajouté à”; line 565 “qui en ont besoin” and
“jusqu’à”; line 572 “là où”; and line 590 “Installez-le”.
- Line 178: Change the made_by_string YAML block scalar indicator from | to |-
so the credits text does not retain a trailing newline, matching the en.yml
representation.
- Line 10: Update the leaderboard translation in the French language resource to
use “Classement” instead of the English “Leaderboard”, preserving the existing
page_title key and formatting.
- Line 237: Remove the trailing spaces inside the quoted values for
estimated_time_remaining and the other matching language entries, including the
entries near lines 288, 318, 321, 323, 326, 327, and 480. Preserve each
translation’s text while ensuring the quoted scalars end directly after the
intended content.
- Around line 133-134: Add the missing action keys to the French translation
structure: add open after play, clone after import, and ensure change is also
present, using the appropriate French translations and matching the keys defined
in en.yml.
- Line 219: Update the French localization entries identified by no_miis_title
and the other affected lines so exclamation and question marks use a
non-breaking space before the punctuation, matching the typography used by the
surrounding translations.
- Around line 561-562: Update the product name in the affected French
translations, including enable_recomp and recomp_use_dolphin_data, from
“Wiicompiled” to “WiiCompiled”; preserve the surrounding translation text and
apply the same capitalization consistently.
- Line 505: Update the brsar_external_count translation so the text following
the leading {$1} count begins in lowercase and forms one continuous French
sentence rather than two fragments.
- Around line 259-260: Add the missing French localization key
progress.uninstalling_recomp near the existing updating_recomp and
recomp_checking_release entries, using an appropriate French translation for
uninstalling WiiCompiled.

Thanks for this, it is a big improvement: most of the ~400 changed lines are genuine fixes (Seveurs, Avertisemment, Pillosité, fennêtre, cils→sourcils, Oeil→Yeux, plural agreements, Tout Activer…) and the new WiiCompiled / patches strings read naturally. I checked the file mechanically too: valid YAML, 501 keys like en.yml.

What blocks it for me:

1. Langue → Langage (two places) is a regression: langage is a programming language or the faculty of speech; picking French/English is Langue. The previous wording was right.
2. Three status.* keys are stale. recomp_dolphin_data_not_linked / _linked / _copied no longer exist in en.yml since the settings redesign (#375); they were replaced by recomp_dolphin_clone_available (Private clone: {$1}), recomp_dolphin_clone_missing and recomp_dolphin_data_cloned, which are therefore untranslated. Same origin for action.recomp_nand_share (English is now Share directly) and helper_text.recomp_graphics_api (English is now WiiCompiled works reliably with DirectX 12 and Vulkan.). Looks like the translation was done from an en.yml predating #375; a re-sync against current main should fix all of these.
3. A few meaning changes (private save data, to be safe, Revert vs Cancel, Setup vs Installation), detailed inline.

The rest are small typos, also inline. One heads-up for whoever merges second: #376 changes the English of helper_text.enable_recomp (Windows and Linux) and helper_text.recomp_graphics_api, so those two French lines will need a touch-up after both land.

Thanks for this PR. lets resolve the comments and then merge

[elnyet]

Hello ! Thank you @thomasczer for proof reading my work !! I resolved all the comments and updated accordingly so I think it's ready to merge

Btw I would like to apologize for line 286 with "La copiage" 😭

[thomasczer]

Re-checked bfa4811 against the current en.yml: all 23 points are addressed, the key set is now identical (501/501, the three status.recomp_dolphin_clone_* keys are translated), YAML is valid, no stray trailing spaces, and Mes Permis / Aucun Permis matches the term the French game uses. Nice work.

One leftover, not blocking: progress.estimated_time_remaining still has a trailing space inside the quotes ("Temps restant estimé : "); en.yml has none. And the same heads-up as before for whoever syncs dev into main: #376 (merged to dev) changes the English of helper_text.enable_recomp (Windows and Linux) and helper_text.recomp_graphics_api, so those two French lines will want a touch-up then.

Thanks for the french translations update :)
