[Translators-l] Help:Notifications ready for translation

[Pols12]

I have translated into French, but not easily, with (I believe) same issue
as Purodha.
Help :
warning = notification
There are 2 kinds of notification/warning :
- alerts
- messages
As alert and warning seems to be synonyms, we have to use synonyms like
notification, information, announce...
I hope it is useful.

But even if I have some ideas, I am not proud of my translation. So it
would be nice if someone else could check French translation.
