Please be patient

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.

"tout le monde" literally means "all the world" or "the whole world".

It's not very mysterious how a phrase like that might idiomatically take on the meaning of "everyone"

oh I should have known that tbh, I just thought the translation would be more direct

Another usage:
"Il y a beaucoup de monde" = "There are a lot of people"

It can be an indefinite number of people, or a very large number of people.

"Est-ce qu'il y a du monde par ici ?" = "Are there people over there ?"
