[LGM] Our website translation

Fri Mar 20 11:16:52 PDT 2015

Hi,

If I click "Français" in the menu, I just get a "Rien n’a été trouvé"
error and nothing else.
Worse the next time, I came back, it remembered apparently I tried to
get the French version and would get me there by default. I had to
click specifically "English" to have contents.

I suggest you only activate the link "Français" when there is contents. :-)
Thanks!

Jehan
