Fix recurring grammatical errors in the French translation: - "de le calendrier" -> "du calendrier" (14 occurrences) - "Nouvel Calendrier"/"Nouvel calendrier" -> "Nouveau ..." (gender agreement: calendrier is masculine and starts with a consonant) - "désincrire" -> "désinscrire" (typo) The "New Calendar" title was the most visible one: it surfaces in the dynamic sidebar (+ button tooltip) and in the calendar creation dialog.
