Update French.json

[Need74]

Hello Pierre,

I am not sure if you are still involved in translating Subtitle Edit, and I certainly don't want to offend you by making a proposal—one based on your own work, of course, but with a few modifications. I am not an IT professional; I am entirely self-taught, though my knowledge is relatively advanced—at least regarding Windows (starting with version 3.1, then 95, 98, Me, XP, 7, 8, 10, and finally 11). I ask for your indulgence regarding my technical terminology.

A few years ago, to familiarize myself with Subtitle Edit, I updated the translation you had provided at the time; it was incomplete and sometimes difficult for me to understand, as I am by no means a specialist in video editing or subtitle insertion. (Back then, the French translation was somewhat outdated, and many terms remained in English as the program received updates.)

Regarding this latest version, I was surprised to find that many accented characters (and others) are encoded in ASCII and that the file structure differs from the English version found on GitHub. (Curiously, despite this apparent disarray, the translation seems to work reasonably well.)

After initially trying to contact you via email without receiving a reply, I am creating this PR on GitHub. This approach seemed more respectful, given your past involvement and your superior knowledge of the Subtitle Edit software.

Please feel free to reply if you wish. I would also like to commend you once again for your contributions to the world of free software, where your name appears quite frequently.

Best regards,

Thank you very much for the complete French re-translation! The coverage and the switch to real UTF-8 characters (instead of \uXXXX escapes) are a big improvement.

I pushed a small follow-up commit on top of your branch with three mechanical fixes found during review:

• Key casing: restored camelCase keys (general.abort instead of General.Abort) to match English.json and all other language files. The app loads case-insensitively so your version worked, but consistent casing keeps translation tooling and diffs against English.json working.
• 4 misspelled keys that made those strings silently fall back to English: imagedBasedSubtitleForEdit/ForOcr → imageBased..., sppendSubtitle → appendSubtitle, chooseLayout → generalChooseLayout.
• 3 missing strings added under video.audioToText: cueBuilding, cueRebuild, cueMaxChars (please feel free to improve my French there). Also kept the literal WebVTT syntax example <v Name> untranslated, since it is syntax the user types in the file.

All translated text is otherwise yours, unchanged. Merging — thanks again for the contribution!
