A little thing that is a problem for me, we don't have the context of the sentences (or I didn't find it) As the English and French ways of thinking are different, some turns of phrase do not translate in the same way depending on the context of use. For example : "grinding rye" can be translated by : "du seigle en cours de broyage" if the global sentence is : "you see grinding rye" "en train de broyer du seigle" if the global sentence is : "the miller is grinding rye" and surely many other way, but I don't speak English good enough.

More generally, if there are strings where additional context is needed and no TRANSLATORS note clarifies it, please open a Transifex issue on the respective string to inform the add-on maintainers (me) that they need to tell the add-on's designer (in this case, also me ) that there's a problem, and the scripter will (hopefully ) add a TRANSLATORS note with more information to the string. EDIT: I double-checked and it turns out that some TRANSLATORS comments are actually present, and the script doesn't pick them up. I'll fix that. Edited: 2021-05-02, 20:43 Top Quote

In this case the translation will be : N'a pas commencé à moudre du seigle parce que le seigle est manquant Another way to translate . Edit : I'll do that when I have figured out how to open an issue.
