Hi,

I would like to submit improvements for the French localization (fr-FR) of the instructions.

What is the correct method?

- Cloning the repository
- create a branch called “french-translation”.
- edit `openrouteservice/src/main/resources/resources/locales/ors_fr-FR.resources` (it is well in JSON format?)
- submit the request for the merger of this branch

Is that all right with you?

Here is my proposal:

```auto
{
    "instructions": {
        "numerals": {
            "1": "1ère",
            "2": "2ème",
            "3": "3ème",
            "4": "4ème",
            "5": "5ème",
            "6": "6ème",
            "7": "7ème",
            "8": "8ème",
