Hi,

the 3.2.1 upstream release brought in an updated French translation,
which was great.

Unfortunately, this translation has a few bugs, among which some are
serious: a few missing %s placeholders make it so the OTR user is not
correctly made aware of the security status of the current discussion.
I'm specifically thinking of strings such as "La confidentialité de
cette conversation est désormais :" that lacks the %s.

I believe that failing to communicate their current security level to
the user, in an implementation of OTR, has a (admittedly, non
critical) security impact. I think this should be fixed in Wheezy.

Upstream 4.0.0 shipped with a reworked French translation that fixes
these problems. Unfortunately, this new upstream release was uploaded
to unstable, so the translation fix will have to go through t-p-u :(

I'll shortly provide a patch that fixes the worse problems, as well as
a few trivial typo fixes.

Cheers,
