In general, it’s easier to start different topics for different questions. Then both can have a title that describes what it’s about, and it’s more likely someone knowing the answer will read the topic and reply.

The Discourse interface is translated to French, currently about 94%. You rarely see 100% because new features, and with them new texts, are added almost daily. [Everyone can help to translate Discourse](https://meta.discourse.org/t/contributing-translations-to-discourse/14882/1). There is also a translation agency working on adding missing translations and ensuring consistent translations. These translations are part of Discourse, you don’t need a separate file, and new translations are also included in the Discourse updates.

Admins can also change any text in their forum, so if a specific text is quite important for your community and has not yet been translated, you can immediately change it by [customizing the text.](https://meta.discourse.org/t/customize-text-in-discourse/36092)
