[NCUC-DISCUSS] NCUC Brochure translations & small edit to make

[Nicolas Adam]

Bonjour à vous chers collègues francophones (ou francophiles)!

J'ai fait une autre lecture du document et y fais quelques changements, 
incluant la modification demandée par William. Il est certain que cette 
version n'est toujours pas parfaite, alors j'apprécierais si 
quelques-uns d'entre vous pouvaient la lire et entamer une discussion 
sur les choix de traduction contentieux qui y sont inévitables. En 
outre, je n'ai pas la prétention de ne jamais faire d'erreurs de 
grammaire ou d'orthographe ;)

De cette manière nous pourrions envoyer une version finale à Maryam. SVP 
n'hésitez pas à faire valoir vos points de vue qui ne peuvent 
qu'enrichir la représentativité de la diversité culturelle francophone 
au sein de notre document de promotion.

Merci d'avance!

Nicolas
