Many thanks for translating the appeal page! Using "tu" instead of
"vous" sounds like a great idea.

Thanks for checking it. The shop will reopen this week. It was closed
because we lack an operations assistant. "décoration" sounds like a
fitting translation. The sticker uses glue.

I preferred vous instead of tu whilst translating.

I'm wondering if it could make sense to have an account option to say which kind of grammar rule should be used for you or your contacts when contacted via the FSF.

Otherwise, you gather only  the endless teenagers, I think ;).
