Re: [i18n-drafts] QA escapes: FR translation + minor changes to EN (#446)

Thank you Richard, that's a good question.
Is this the French version of the Unicode Standard you were referring to: http://hapax.qc.ca/Tableaux-15.0.htm?
Note: there are two more Unicode character names in the text, which I translated as well ("U+200F MARQUE DROITE-À-GAUCHE" and "U+3123 LETTRE BOPOMOFO EN"). The names match the recommendations from the Hapax website.

I went through every French article I could find on Google with "site:https://www.w3.org/International/questions" and only one article included Unicode character names: https://www.w3.org/International/questions/qa-html-css-normalization.fr.html

In this article, the names have been translated as "U+00E1 Lettre minuscule latine A accent aigu", "U+0061 Lettre minuscule latine A" and "U+0301 Diacritique accent aigu". These names match the recommendations from the Hapax website.

Do you know whether Unicode character names appear in other French translations?

Based on that translation, for consistency purposes, it would make sense to use the French names (but follow French capitalization rules). However, if you'd rather use the English names (and add a French translation or explanation for each of them), I don't mind.

Thank you,
Gwen

It's normal to leave the uppercase name exactly as it appears in the standard, however, i know that there is a French version of the Unicode Standard which does have translated character names (and by memory i think you have the right name). Therefore this may not be a problem. I just wanted to check with you that you were aware. Just let me know, and if you want to keep it as is then i'll merge and announce the translation.
