    Hi Bernard,

    I don't quite understand what you're saying here. Please rephrase your
    email, and I will try my best to help. If applicable, please send
    screenshots too. If you would like to, send me this request in French
    and English, I will try to have a French friend of mine translate it for
    me.

    Dom
