Can anybody with a company registered in France share their experience delivering source code to their French clients in the public sector?
Under Loi Toubon, is it illegal for comments and variable names to be English only? Or is it sufficient when user manual and user interface is delivered in French?
In other words, do comments in source code represent documentation as understood by the Loi Toubon and thus need to be delivered in French?
Is the law in this regard applied differently when dealing with the private sector?
The resources I could find in English do not mention any requirements when it comes to source code. I’m also questioning the practicality of delivering a software project that includes open source packages that in addition to having a suitable license will need to have their readme files translated let alone their comments.
