Thank you for your answer.

I think that will be much better, not only for translation.

Then, if I have enough time, I will do some clean up.

OK. I do my best to maintain the English version in the same time. But do
you want to keep all changes saved in the English file?

OK. I may have found it by myself if I were more curious ;)
I'm not used to svg. I just finished to install Inkscape, and will see what
can I do with it. LibO opened the file but render it with a mess. AOO did it

I will upload next version of the file at the same place.

Have a good warm day :)
