Dear team,
I am translating a chapter of a book from French to Catalan and I have some doubts since this is not my expertise. Lines in the novel are numbered every 5 lines. Do I have to maintain these numbers in the translation? Besides, the author adds some foodnotes about some aspects of the French language, which in the translation is non sense.
