Try to join the next time, because it's better for me.

Well it's difficult sometimes to remember what you have done, 
especially when you do several tasks at the same time/

Well, it has not the same, since intrinsically one covers the English 
notion and the other the French one. I can put Copyright if you prefer. 
(by the way I worked in this branch and especially on "droits 
d'auteur".

Well, in the context, if I recall the term covers the same notion, 
should check.

> Your work include creative translations I'm a bit jealous of. ;-)
If this is criticism you are welcome to take the whole job, then I will 
have the pleasure to criticize.

No, remember this is a menu, just a short word to give the sense.

No, again, too long. I'll put IUG (my fingers wrote UIG alone)

In this case Données d'image, but it's better Données image for a menu

No, the important word here is citation, it's not a description, just 
the equivalent of the tag into French.

Both are OK; but the official word on ww3c is bidirectionnalité, so I 
leave it as is. But I correct changement.

The problem is that the English wording is not adequate. Should check.
