Well done! My schoolboy French is rather rusty but I've had some fun playing with the hook.
This is a "describe your holiday" effort that starts with "I've just returned from Spain":
"Je suis de retour d'Espagne ! Ces vacances étaient géniales. Ce que j'ai préféré : -Les tapas de la côte andalouse, tout simplement : jambon de pays, chorizo, patatas bravas, calamars... -Le paysage dans les montagnes autour de"
The punctuation is a bit randomly spaced out and Spain is summarized in food from one region and a strange mountain reference. Another go:
"Je suis de retour d'Espagne ! Ces vacances étaient géniales. Ce que j'ai préféré : la plage, la mer, les jeux dans le sable, le soleil, la glace pour l'après-midi (et l'eau fraîche), les paysages, la bonne"
A bit weird: The holiday was OK. It was what I like: sand and sea and the sun. The ice at midday (and the fresh water) ...
That's all fine by me. It does not matter that it isn't quite finished let alone polished. The key thing is that someone is doing this.
I am a staunch anglophone but I think we need diversity and this is a great jump on that path. A "French first" model and open (libre!) is a boon for all. Hopefully other languages will be championed in a similar way. It would be nice if someone did this for English.
This sort of thing is too important to be locked up in commercial silos. I have no idea what it should look like, let alone be governed but some sort of "Commons" looks appropriate to me.
