I have translated into French, but not easily, with (I believe) same issue as Purodha.
Help :
warning = notification
There are 2 kinds of notification/warning :
- alerts
- messages
As alert and warning seems to be synonyms, we have to use synonyms like notification, information, announce...
I hope it is useful.

But even if I have some ideas, I am not proud of my translation. So it would be nice if someone else could check French translation.

Hi,

sorry to say, part this stuff appears pretty untranslatable to me without
in depth studies.

1) There is a wild mixture of almost indistinguishable words or expressions:
notification - alert - message - message warning - etc. - While I know
that there are subtle differences in English, fine grain translations
do not exist, and unless resorting to repeated lengthy explanations,
translations are all the same. Translated sentences are either
funny or next to empty.

2) There is a lot of irrelevant stuff there. Nice to be welcomed but
it is a waste of readers time, since it bears no information. Not even
nice to know that formerly there was "Echo" - it is plain information clutter,
has not to be part of this documentation - except, if we really feel it
might be valuable to some, once(!) in a footnote. It could possibly be
interesting to a small minority, who developed that stuff. If you
really think it was important enough, footnote it. Etc..

I for one am pretty unwilling to translate bulky sentences that are
of no to little help if you look for help. Please overhaul the Text.

Now translations are 17 % outdated and 5 % done. :( On the bright
side, some languages may be quick to improve by rescuing old
translations.
