I think I'm the one to blame here!

Sorry if it caused you trouble but I prefer to translate/adapt every
bit.

I can come up with a simple script to transform your sessions if you
need such a tool but the best way to fix this would be either not to
permit translating these strings in the code or preferably, to store the
sessions with the english/generic wording. You might want to fill a bug
about this issue.

On a side note, "général" might sound weird but that's the way I'm used
to call a master in French ; if you can come up with something better
I'd be glad to see it!

Regards,
