# French (fr-FR)
#
# Notes: These tests use the XSAMPA examples given in the pico manual.
#        The only differences between the manual and the test strings are:
#        1/ replaced the primary stress character " (double quote) by its dec code &#34;
#        2/ the XSAMPA "r\" is replaced by "r\\" (the backslash is escaped) otherwise pico says
#           garbage or the "rrr" sound is pronounced "j" (as a french j)
#        When a test is marked as "BUG", if possible, the tester will capture an approximate
#        transcription of what was heard inside [ ].
