Pull Request Overview
This PR fixes ungrammatical French translations in flash messages by replacing gender-specific formulations with gender-neutral alternatives. The current translations are missing articles and suffer from gender agreement issues that make them sound unnatural in French.
Key changes:
- Replaced verb-based constructions with noun-based constructions (e.g., "a bien été créé" → "Création réussie")
- Used gender-neutral formulations to avoid article and adjective agreement complexities
- Improved error message clarity and formality

The French translations for flash messages are currently ungrammatical as many are missing articles in front of resource nouns which makes it sound really off for instance :
Here,
Should be more something like "Le contact a bien été mis à jour.". However, if using a feminine noun for instance "Livraison" it should be
in the current version (which is not supported).
To avoid juggling between gender agreements of articles, nouns, adjectives and transitive verbs, I suggest in this PR to use gender-neutral formulations to have more natural-sounding and grammatically correct messages.
