French Formatting

The following rules are automatically applied to string-based fields when the content language is French (fr):

• Quote formatting: Converts English quotes ("text") to French guillemets («\u202Ftext\u202F»)
• Punctuation spacing: Adds non-breaking thin spaces (\u202F) before !, ?, ;, and :
• Number formatting: Proper spacing for numbers with units (°, €, %, h, etc.)
• Name formatting: Correct spacing for initials and titles (M., Mme., J.-P.)
• Abbreviation formatting: Proper spacing for abbreviations and "etc."
