Syntax notes:

• Italic means the text is a comment
• Unless it is present in the original text, a "/" means "Option 1/Option 2". Option 1 will suggest a commonly used word, and Option 2 a more technical/literal translation

Important note on "Tally" meaning

Going through the translation, I wondered if I had the correct understanding of "tally" and "tallying".

I translated it to "décompte", "décompter", etc.. but am unsure if it totally right.

"Décompter" is the general act of detailing various counts that pile up, like for taxes.

But for the act of counting votes, there's a specific word for that.

So, if the goal is to imply "the server gives you stuff to count and verify", using "décompte(r)" is fine.

But if we specifically want to mean that the user/client receives the ballots, and makes a count of "yes", "no", "abstain", verifies it and produces a result, the specific word in a vote situation is "dépouiller".

To my understanding, that's what Pi-Vote/Circle does (except he doesn't and can't open one specific vote but mathematically derivates the amount of "yes", "no", etc.. from the ballots to ensure individual vote confidentiality).

So if we're in that case translations should be as follows:

to tally -> dépouiller
(a) tally -> (un) dépouillement
tallying -> en dépouillement

Hope this helps, and that this "by screenshot" translation method isn't too much of a hassle for the devs !
