Re: notepad: updated French translation

Hi,

I don't know if it is important since the translation is grammatically 
correct, but in windows (I checked on XP SP2), the exact translation is

"À &propos du Bloc-notes..." and not "À &propos de Bloc-notes..."

I changed it and removed the extra ellipsis to conform to most HIGs (eg. Gnome's : http://developer.gnome.org/projects/gup/hig/hig-diff/menus-design.html)

The Windows style is to include the ellipsis whenever a menu item will
normally result in a dialog box appearing, not just when further user
input is required. I think it is more important to be consistent with
what we already have in Wine and with native equivalents of our
programs than to conform with certain HIGs.

Do you have any reference for this Windows rule ?

I didn't find it and Firefox, Internet Explorer, Notepad, Paint and
OpenOffice on Windows (in French at least) do not have ellipsis in About
menu entry (altough Firefox has a special "?" Menu in Windows instead of
"Help").

As for what we already have in Wine, regedit and wordpad don't have
ellipsis in this place, so I think that notepad is inconsistent with the
rest of Wine.

Regards.

Fair enough. Sorry for the noise.
