Our volunteers look into many questions every day; sometimes it takes them a little while to answer.

Pro tip: you can rename the thread title with `.tr <thread name>`

Make it descriptive, including relevant context, but also to the point. This way you improve your chances of getting a more relevant and specific answer.

Because if you translate it literally, it means "How do you call yourself?"

And that's just how that concept is expressed in French.

comment --> how
tu --> you
t' --> yourself
appelles --> call

Different languages express the same ideas idiomatically in different ways sometimes, they're not perfect translations of each other.
