Will there be a French translation of the book ? ( The title could be "Merdification" as coined by @ploum )

@fresseng @ploum I have honestly not been able to keep track of all the translation deals, but I THINK so

@fresseng @pluralistic : In French, I would make extra sure that the title is "merdification".

The litteral/intuitive translation is "emmerdification" (which was often used before my own blog post) but, in French, it carries the meaning of "being boring/being bored" which is completely different.

@ploum @fresseng @pluralistic And we keep being close to the spanish version "mierdaficacíon" as a bonus.

@JaggyJeff @fresseng @pluralistic : and there’s already a Wikipedia page with that title : https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Merdification ;-)
