Cultural Tip
In French, the level of formality is conveyed by the possessive adjective. ‘Ton’ is casual; in a formal email or with a client you’d say ‘votre système’ and possibly use the conditional: ‘Pourriez‑vous détailler…’. Also, French speakers often prefer ‘modifications’ or ‘mise à jour’ in technical contexts, so swapping ‘changements’ for those words can sound more natural.
