# FR — glossary notes

Locale-specific term notes that exceed the glossary's `_note` field.

## `e-mail` vs `Courriel`

French has two acceptable forms: `Courriel` (formal/Canadian) and `e-mail` (conversational/European French). Tale's marketing site uses `e-mail`; the docs use `Courriel`. The glossary entry for `Email` uses `Courriel` for terminology checks; reviewers accept `e-mail` in conversational marketing prose.

## `Engineering` as job-title

In job-title context (`Engineering team`, `VP of Engineering`), the English form is conventional. Bucket-3 translation (`Ingénierie`) applies in prose; the glossary entry has `_note` flagging the job-title carve-out.

## Quoted UI labels in prose

When a French page references the shipped UI label and the label is itself a French translation, both `« »` quotation and bold should be applied per house style: `Ouvre l'onglet **« Base de connaissances »**`. Reviewers catch ambiguous cases.
