The goal of this translation is solely to enable a french speaking person to get help from a technical person who is not a native french speaker but happens to have intimate knowledge of the software involved. Under no circumstances should it be included in the actual file sent to the DCSSI. The answers must be translated in french and copied to the french file sent to the DCSSI.
