Fluent 1.0: a localization system for natural-sounding translations

The same message in French is a simple sentence, similar to the English one:

The concept of asymmetric localization is the key innovation of Fluent, built upon 20 years of Mozilla’s history of successfully shipping localized software. At first glance, Fluent looks similar to other localization solutions that allow translations to use plurals and grammatical genders. Fluent takes these ideas further by defining the syntax for the entire text file in which multiple translations can be stored, and by allowing messages to reference other messages.
