Hahaha!
Why does it say <--Avant <-- ? Does the button go before?

Edit: I could help translating the page!

The webchat applet was quickly translated by a non-native speaker. We are always happy to hear improvements to the translation :)

Insetad of saying «Avant»... it should say «Retour»

«Demandez votre question et êtes patiente, SVP. Si n'est pas de personne est répondre au question, quelqu'un à repondre bientôt. Merci.»
should be :
«Demandez votre question et, SVP, soyez patient. Si personne ne répond à votre question, quelqu'un le fera bientôt. Merci.»

«L'aide pour MSN et Messenger Plus!»
should read :
«Obtenir de l'aide pour MSN et Messenger Plus!»

While chatting:
[ chatting in french ]
should be :
[ vous chattez en français ]

<< Go back to the channel index
should be :
<< Retour
(there is no channel index... just a language index)

And «NOTE: Quand vous fermez cette fenêtre, vous serez déconnecté(e) du chat.»
should be :
«NOTE: Quand vous fermerez cette fenêtre, vous serez déconnecté(e) du chat.»

It's french? Lol, no.

chatting in french should be chatter en français


And for quelqu'un d'autre le fera bientôt I think quelqu'un le fera bientôt is better.

Non car «chatting» n'est pas à l'infinitif...  si on disait «chatter en français» ce serait comme si on donnait une instruction
[No because «chatting» is not at the infinitive (to chat)... if we were saying «chatter en français» it would be as if we were giving an instruction]

Et pour le «quelqu'un d'autre»... je crois que tu a raison!
[As for the «quelqu'un d'autre»... I think you're right!]

Hum, non, c'est à l'infinitif, une instruction serait plutôt du type chattez, non ?

I think that <chatter> is not an instruction but <chattez> is one:$

edit : ah ok, in fact, i had not understand english version:$
