Upgrade StorageWrong french translation of "Book author"
Hi everybody!
Consider this a bug report. In the french locale for Zotero, the "Book Author" for "Book sections" (mapped to container-author in CSL) is translated as "Ecrivain".
An "écrivain" usually means someone who writes fiction – it is closer to the English "writer" than to "book author".
A better translation would be: "Auteur du livre".
I can imagine situations in which "écrivain" makes sense – say, using a Book section element to cite the postface to a book by Victor Hugo.
But it isn't generic enough. I'm citing a non-fiction book, which has three authors, and I'm referring to one chapter written by one of those three persons. I had put the author of the chapter as "Auteur", but I'd never have guessed I was supposed to list him and the two others book authors as "écrivains"...
It would be great if that could be corrected.
