## Conventions

- **Canonical files** (no language suffix) are written in **English**, the lingua franca of NIST / NIAP / CMVP submissions. They are the binding reference for the international evaluation labs (atsec, Acumen, Leidos, BSI).
- **`.fr.md` files** are French translations, primarily for the ANSSI / CESTI submission stream (CC EAL4+ via French centres of evaluation). The translation is functionally equivalent ; in case of discrepancy the English version prevails.
- **`README.md` at project root** is in English (the default international showcase). `README.fr.md` mirrors it in French.
- **Code blocks, command-line snippets, and source-symbol names** are NOT translated --- they are technical artefacts.
- **`MECHANISMS.md`** is auto-generated by `scripts/gen_p11_thunks.py`. Its French version is a thin wrapper that points to the English (auto-gen does not produce French ; localising the generator is tracked as a future task).

## Documents non traduits / Documents not translated

The following technical artefacts remain English-only :
- All inline comments in `src/`, `include/`, `scripts/`
- The generated `MECHANISMS.md` body (auto-gen output)
- The `kat/cavp/*.rsp` files (NIST CAVP format, by definition English)

These technical artefacts use precise vocabulary inherited from the standards (FIPS, NIST SP, RFC, PKCS#11 OASIS) and are commonly read in English by francophone evaluators.
